[CONDUIT #ILM-125352]: Change to data path on NCEPs conduit

Hi Carissa,

re:

It is for two things:

- testing their new server with the expanded CONDUIT feed (meaning existing
  CONDUIT plus 0.25 degree GFS)

- if the test is successful, begin test feeds (along with us) to the sites
  that are chomping at the bit to get the 0.25 degree GFS data
