What is meant by extra-tropical characteristics?

I have a question, in this morning's NHC discussion section, in the last paragraph reference is made:

WILMA SHOULD BEGIN TO ACQUIRE EXTRATROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS

What do they mean by extra-tropical characteristics? And what is the impact or concern, if any, for those of us in South Florida?

Thanks in advance.
