You know, it might be easier if you use the new NOAA XML weather feeds [ http://www.nws.noaa.gov/alerts/ ]. Also, did you know that you can FTP into their public server and download observation reports? They are cycled every hour, and are available via anonymous FTP from weather.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/cycles directory. Or, you can use snoopy and submit your ICAO code to http://www.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml and have snoopy return the plain text version of the file. You should get your METAR report there. (yes, I am an avid flight simulator) Sorry I didn't answer your original question.
