NWS JAX Science and Operations officer identified weak tornado based on radar imagery including debris ball signature over the Okenfenokee Swamp.

Wider weather episode

A lifting warm front, very saturated airmass and strong upper level dynamics ahead of a cold front created a couple waves of localized heavy rainfall across the local area from Dec. 1-2nd. A pre-frontal squall line with embedded supercell storms crossed the area during the afternoon of Dec. 2nd which triggered a few weak tornadoes.
