Assessments:

We actually get convection in Washington with Grell!
The Grell locations seem better though precip amounts in Washington are less.
The really big differences in these plots is the convection near the Great Salt Lake.
Not having a cumulus parameterization on for the 12-km domain kills the Washington convection.
Note the differences at hour 21 of the KF2 run with OpenMP and run with PGI-MPI!
