Tropical Hurricane Ian

I dont really believe Ian is tropical anymore, and has undergone ET. The only reason why NHC is still keeping it alive is because this will still be a bad storm coming ashore tomorrow.
There’s definitely still enough tropical characteristics to still call it a hurricane, but I do think it is taking on some extra-tropical characteristics as well. You are right that even if it were ET, the NHC is going to continue treating it as a hurricane… they got too much grief back in 2012 for not issuing hurricane warnings for the Maryland and NJ coasts with Sandy
