I work with NWS grids a lot for nexrad data. They are in a 1/40 lfm grid. Your data looks like it might be an a 1/1 LFM grid. Here is the WKT I would use for a 1/1 LFM grid. Each cell is 190.5 km.
PROJCS["1/1.0 LFM",GEOGCS["NOT SPECIFIED",DATUM["SPHERE", SPHEROID["SPHERE",6371200.0,0.0]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0. 0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Stereographic_North_Pole"], PARAMETER["False_Easting",11.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing", 41.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-105.0],PARAMETER[" Standard_Parallel_1",60.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",1],UNIT["190500.0 meters",190500.0]] A 1/40 lfm grid projection that the NWS uses for the radar looks like so. The other one above is a wild guess based on the fact that it has a grid size of 190.5km I am thinking it is their LFM. PROJCS["1/40.0 LFM",GEOGCS["NOT SPECIFIED",DATUM["SPHERE", SPHEROID["SPHERE",6371200.0,0.0]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0. 0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Stereographic_North_Pole"], PARAMETER["False_Easting",401.0],PARAMETER["False_Northing", 1601.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-105.0],PARAMETER[" Standard_Parallel_1",60.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",1],UNIT["4762.5 meters",4762.5]] Good luck!
