Those kg/m2/s are the units supplied by the model grib file. A kg/m2 is
essentially a mm of water, so kg/m2/s is about the same as mm/s.
You can change the units in the display using the Edit->Change Display Unit
menu. If you want to make this the default for that parameter, you can use the
Display Control's File->Save->Save as Parameter Default menu or add an entry
using the Tools->Parameter Defaults Editor. See the User's Guide section on
Display Controls:

for more information.
