[Geotiff] Looking for help with netCDF -> Geotiff

Hello,

I work for the National Weather Service, and I'm working on taking 
forecast data from a netCDF file, and putting it into Geotiff format.  
I've tried a couple of tools that claimed to do this directly, but have 
not had any success with them so far.  At this point, I can read the 
netCDF, and I can create a plain TIFF image based on the data.  Given 
the following projection information, is it possible to georeference the 
image?

Projection = Lambert Conformal
Std. Lat1 = Std. Lat2 = 25.0
Lat/Lon Origin = 25.0, -95.0
LL lat/lon and UR lat/lon are known
Each data point represents a 5km x 5km area.

Any tips on where to go from here would be greatly appreciated!

Matt
