Benjamin,
Thats what I believe it may be I think it
could be well-developed interference arc inside
primary in fact I seen this a couple weeks ago
and it was in front of a thunderstorm but was
faint, earlier the double primary bow was not
present just the standard primary arc and a piece
of secondary arc.
Best,
Michael
