Not completely - it has the same message semantics, they "just" changed
how the messages are transported.

Fair Isle: South veering southwest 6 to gale 8, increasing severe gale 9 at
times, perhaps storm 10 later. Rough or very rough, becoming high or very
high. Rain then thundery showers. Good, occasionally poor.
