"Danielle" is now "Post-Tropical"

Mabye I was sleeping, but what happened to "Extra-Tropical"? Do we always use "Post-Tropical" now? Is that similar to Post-Modernism?? - HLG

SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE THAT CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH DANIELLE
HAS DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. IN
ADDITION...AMSU MEASUREMENTS SHOW THAT THE WARM-CORE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE CYCLONE HAS WEAKENED CONSIDERABLY DURING THE LAST 12
HOURS. THE INITIAL INTENSITY ESTIMATE IS MAINTAINED AT 60 KT BUT IS
FAIRLY UNCERTAIN DUE TO THE LACK OF AVAILABLE OBSERVATIONAL DATA IN
THE VICINITY OF DANIELLE IN RECENT HOURS. DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF
CONVECTION...WEAKENING OF THE WARM-CORE AND A NON-TROPICAL
SATELLITE APPEARANCE...DANIELLE IS BEING DECLARED A POST-TROPICALSTORM ON THIS ADVISORY. FULL EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION IS EXPECTED
TO BE A BIT MORE GRADUAL THAN INDICATED PREVIOUSLY...WITH
BAROCLINIC ZONE TO THE NORTH OVERTAKING DANIELLE BY LATE TOMORROW.
