Ok, now the analytical version ;-)
Put the center coordinates in a text file WRF4326.txt, and perform
cs2cs +init=epsg:4326 +to +proj=lcc +lat_1=39.338 +lat_0=39.338
+lon_0=-84 +k_0=1 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +a=6371229 +b=6371229
+towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs WRF4326.txt >out.txt
on it. Subtract the result
595747.57 104990.12
from 828000 (that is 138x1200/2, the center of the raster grid)
and you get
x_0=232252. and y_0=723010.
Almost the same as I got empirical, taking the raster cell size of
12000m into acount.
