Nothing ... maybe a little low-level jet maxima, but just thought it looked neat.

Saw That

I had seen that and was going to post a picture here but didn't have time. It's in the lower levels, an eddy in an inflow band. If you look closely, you can see another one NNW of the center about the same distance out in that band of strato-cumulus. I could see them rotating on the loops.

That's what I thought also, it's cool looking, and thanks for the extra pair of eyes. 8-)
