I'm not a weather guy, so I want to stay out of it, but my tendency
would be to say "yes".  It makes no sense to dump weather data into
the system that doesn't fit their models.  That being said, perhaps
they already account for that in the APRS data they receive?  Steve
Dimse would probably know this stuff.
