Collin,

Your pattern isn't correct, the entry should be:

DDS     ^(SAUS80) KWBC
        PIPE -strip    -close    /usr/ucb/mail -s "\1 METAR for KBOS"
address@hidden

The KBOS report is inside the SAUS80 KWBC bulletin.  If you just want to
get the KBOS report then you will have to run pqsurf. Look at the man page
for pqsurf.  Another option is write a script that extracts the KBOS
report from the SAUS80 KWBC bulletin.
