How to include microphysics mass variables in wrfbdy files

Hello,
I am using WRF release-v4.7.1 for regional 3km convective-allowing simulations. In the 'real.exe' step, the microphysics variables QCLOUD_, QRAIN_, QSNOW_, QGRAUP_, etc. all end up having zero values in the 'wrfbdy' files, even though non-zero values exist for the corresponding variables in the 'met_em' input files and the resulting 'wrfinput' file. How does one include the values of these variables in the 'wrfbdy' files. The physics suite I'm using is 'CONUS'.

Attached (and linked) are the namelist file, a met_em file, the source of the data, the wrfinput file, and the wrfbdy file. Note that hydrometeor variables such as QCLOUD are non-zero in the wrfinput file (including along the boundaries), while the corresponding QCLOUD_BXE, etc. variables contain all zeros.

Thank you.

Regards,
Mike
