plotting on wrf grid

Hello NCL,

I'm taking wrf-output and calculating the maximum wind speed over a 24-hr
period. The plot itself looks fine, but there is no associated lat/lon
coordinates and I'm having difficulties getting a lat/lon grid to plot with
the data. The script below runs without errors. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Zack
