It is "trying", and it may even strengthen again a little, but it can't be a real typhoon anymore. It has started turning into what we call an extratropical low. When a typhoon or TS starts moving up into the mid-latitudes and cool dry air comes in from the west and into its circulation, it changes from having a warm center surrounded by a ring of tall thunderstorms to a system driven by the temperature difference between cold air to the west and warm air to the east. These can be very strong, but they don't have a warm eye and are no longer considered tropical systems. The agency such as the JTWC or NHC will often still keep the name for a while, but they stop issuing advisories once the transition is complete. At that point the local weather offices take over the forecasting and warning duties.

You're welcome. Listen, it's now starting to look like you might get a really good blow from the northwestern edge of this thing. I would not rule out hurricane force gusts because there are very strong thunderstorms on the northwest side of it. Just thought you should have a heads up. Are you getting any warnings from the JMA?

It would be around 6Z on the 25th or maybe a little sooner. I'm just saying it's a possibility.

Yeah, me too. If not a TCCOR at least a special advisory, because IF it keeps this intensity and stays close enough, you could easily get some high winds. These forecasts are the toughest of all because you're right on the borderline, but I always believe in playing it safe.

When I was in mainland The first Typhoon I went through I remember good because I went to bed Sunday night in TCCOR 4 and woke up in TCCOR 1. We went to work. 2 hours later they sent us home with the Sirens already going off. Next storm we were home by TCCOR 1 and I wasl ike yep someone learned their leson

REMARKS:
242100Z POSITION NEAR 23.8N 127.2E.
TROPICAL STORM (TS) 22W (LUPIT), LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 180 NM SOUTH-
SOUTHWEST OF OKINAWA, JAPAN, HAS TRACKED NORTHEASTWARD ALONG THE
NORTHWESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE SUBTROPICAL STEERING RIDGE AT 08 KNOTS
OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE FORECAST REASONING AND TRACK HAVE
CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE WARNING NR 043 TO REFLECT A MORE INTENSE
SYSTEM THAT WILL UNDERGO EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION. DESPITE THE
PRESENCE OF MODERATE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR (20 TO 30 KNOTS) THAT IS
CAUSING TS LUPIT TO TILT SLIGHTLY TO THE NORTHEAST, ANIMATED
INFRARED IMAGERY SHOWS INCREASED DEEP CONVECTION WITH A BANDING EYE
AND PARTIALLY EXPOSED LOW LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER (LLCC). THE
CURRENT POSITION IS BASED ON THE METSAT IMAGERY WHILE THE CURRENT
INTENSITY IS SLIGHTLY ABOVE DVORAK ESTIMATES FROM PGTW AND RJTD (55
KNOTS) DUE TO THE CONSOLIDATED LOW LEVEL STRUCTURE EVIDENT IN A
241744Z AMSRE MICROWAVE IMAGE. DESPITE INCREASING VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR, TS LUPIT IS NOT EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS QUICKLY AS PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST DUE TO STRONG POLEWARD OUTFLOW INTO THE MID-LATITUDE
WESTERLIES. ADDITIONALLY, AS LUPIT STARTS TO ENCOUNTER UNFAVORABLE
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES BY TAU 36, THE SYSTEM WILL START TO
INTERACT WITH THE BAROCLINIC ZONE AND GAIN JET SUPPORT. THIS WILL
ENABLE LUPIT TO DEVELOP INTO A STRONG BAROCLINIC SYSTEM WITH
TRANSITION COMPLETE BY TAU 72. THE NUMERICAL MODEL GUIDANCE HAS COME
INTO VERY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THIS EXTRATROPICAL SCENARIO AND NO
LONGER INDICATES DISSIPATION. MAXIMUM SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT AT
241800Z IS 29 FEET. NEXT WARNINGS AT 250300Z, 250900Z, 251500Z AND
252100Z.//

Exactly. Although the microwave shows a nice "eye" feature, there's a lot of continental polar air involved at this point and this is obviously attached to the stationary front now. Personally I prefer to keep calling it by its name and treating it as tropical as far as warnings go until the winds die down, but I understand why they don't.

Baroclinic means due to a temperature difference across an horizontal area. It means the storm is starting to get structured like a mid-latitude low, i.e. like a nor'easter. Sometimnes when this happens, the extra added energy of cooler continental air pushing into wamer tropical air can cause a tropical system to boost up when it normally would have been declining.

Baroclinic just refers to a temperature gradient - in this case, that's just the approaching cold front from the northwest. These serve as energy sources either in creating their own weather with rain/storms along the front or enhancing other storms nearby. As you can see in the various satellite images, the system is beginning to look more and more like a mid-latitude cyclone. Specifically, the circulation is becoming elongated along a SW-NE axis (due to winds from the SW at all levels ahead of the front) and the precip/convection is beginning to focus itself in the northern and western parts of the storm - much like the comma head feature you see in that part of a mature, usually occluded storm. Also of note is the developing frontal boundary to the system's north and east - it was drawn in on the surface analysis someone posted farther up this thread, and it should soon become fully entangled in Lupit, hence completing the transition to an extratropical cyclone.

edit: lol, looks like i got outposted while i was creating my long-winded blabber... :D

Actually, RSMC Tokyo tends to continue warning on systems as tropical cyclones until only after transition is fully complete and there are no more hints of a warm core, usually resulting on the JMA warning on an X-knot severe TS which looks like crap and on which the JTWC stopped warnings for ages ago.
