Doesn't look tropical (except for the hurricane-like symmetry) and doesn't look like an upper level low either. Radar doesn't show much, so it's only in the sky. But it's a cool loop anyways.

Seems to be a mid-level feature according to the RUC - it shows up in the 500mb and 700mb layers, but not at either 200mb or 850mb.
