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

Warm-core tropical cyclones do make it all the way to the waters off the
east of Canada from time to time. "Fabian", for example, was still a
genuine hurricane when it crossed 45 deg N earlier this month. North
Atlantic hurricanes are often found outside of the tropics. Indeed, it's
not unusual for them to form outside of the tropics.

Wasn't the term adopted for all winds of a certain power (that equated
to speeds over 75 mph) according to Beaufort? Darwinists here will
appreciate Linaean priority.
