Forecast Builder and the CWR grid

Hi all, 

 

I recently noticed that we were ingesting a QPFProb010F12 (most WFO's definitions of a wetting rain is 0.10") and a QPFProb025F12 (at least a SEW & PQR definition of a wetting rain) grid from the NBM into GFE.  It does not appear forecast builder is using either grid and is instead calculating CWR based on the PoP and deterministic QPF forecast.  Can forecast builder instead ingest either NBM grid depending on the WFO?  It seems there could still be a quick integrity check to make sure CWR is never higher than the PoP.
