Hi Jim:

the IDV has chosen so far not to expose the best time series. use this 
catalog instead:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8080/thredds/idd/models.xm

BTW, we are about to switch to using the TDS 4.2, currently at:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu:8081/thredds/idd/models.xml

(we will switch to 8080 probably by end of the week)

It has some serious refactoring done on the "time interval" variables 
like precipitation, where you saw problems some month ago. There may be 
more work to be done on the IDV to correctly display these, so if you 
get a chance to look at any of those on 8081, feedback would be appreciated.
