Hi Sarah:

I dont really understand your problem. Apparently  you used the service at

  
http://nomads.ncdc.noaa.gov/thredds/ncss/grid/nam/200812/20081201/nam_218_20081201_0000_000.grb/dataset.html

to extract some data. What is the other souyrce of data that you are comparing 
to where the lat/lon doesnt match?
