David,
I see the problem.
For historical reason, the nc output from the WRF has never been CF
compliance. The netCDF group developers have to do something special to make it
look like good nc file. In your case,
the stereographic projection is being applied to the 3D variable but not 2D and
this is likely why you see the coast lines not match with your data.
I will check if there is anything can be done here to make it works.
