It won't be a hurricane, they only exist in tropical regions. They are known
as extratropical cyclones (with maybe hurricane force winds?) but the cold

More likely it'll get caught up in the jetstream and get absorbed in some
depression or another in the Atlantic...

Looks like being declared ex-tropical *and* ex-hurricane before it
hits land. Still a bit breezy though! From NHC's Juan Discussion no. 4
