Greetings Brian,

I think what you are seeing is the difference between the 12 km grid of the NAM 
and the
2.5 degree (~250 km) grid of the GFS. If you decimate the 12 km NAM to use 
every 20th 
grid point using the spatial subset, then the difference is not too bad. Also, 
if you use the 
simple difference formula found on the "Field Selector" tab under "Formulas"->\
"Miscellaneous", the eye-ball average difference is around 10 mb for the 
central CONUS), 
but can be as big as ~40 mb near the edge of the grid.

Cheers,

Sean
