Not as transitionEffect option. What you could do, however, would be
to create your WFS layer twice, but display only one at a time. Your
workflow would be something like:

 * layer1 on, layer2 off
 * turn layer 2 on, refresh layer 2, wait a sec or so, turn layer 1 off
 * layer1 off, layer2 on
 * turn layer 1 on, refresh layer 1, wait a sec or so, turn layer 2 off

Regards,
Andreas.
