If it was chaff, wouldn't the signature be all one color not red in the center, yellow in the middle and green on the outside? Looks like a weather pattern to me.

Chaff is not going to present a huge signature like that. Its only purpose is to confuse radar-guided missiles. I seriously doubt that weather radar would even pick it up.

Depends on how much chaff was dispensed. That stuff can hang in the air for a very long time depending on wind speeds.
