HTML to dictionary

[Tina I]

Hi everyone,

I have a small, probably trivial even, problem. I have the following HTML:
> <b>
>  METAR:
> </b>
> ENBR 270920Z 00000KT 9999 FEW018 02/M01 Q1004 NOSIG
> <br />
> <b>
>  short-TAF:
> </b>
> ENBR 270800Z 270918 VRB05KT 9999 FEW020 SCT040
> <br />
> <b>
>  long-TAF:
> </b>
> ENBR 271212 VRB05KT 9999 FEW020 BKN030 TEMPO 2012 2000 SNRA VV010 BECMG 2124 15012KT
> <br />

I need to make this into a dictionary like this:

dictionary = {"METAR:" : "ENBR 270920Z 00000KT 9999 FEW018 02/M01 Q1004 
NOSIG" , "short-TAF:" : "ENBR 270800Z 270918 VRB05KT 9999 FEW020 SCT040" 
, "long-Taf:" : "ENBR 271212 VRB05KT 9999 FEW020 BKN030 TEMPO 2012 2000 
SNRA VV010 BECMG 2124 15012KT"}

I have played around with BeautifulSoup but I'm stuck at stripping off 
the tags and chop it up to what I need to put in the dict. If someone 
can offer some hints or example to get me going I would greatly 
appreciate it.

Thanks!
Tina
