West central Otero County in southeastern Colorado... Southwestern Crowley County in southeastern Colorado... East central Pueblo County in southeastern Colorado... Strong heating of the ground and the resulting unstable atmosphere can cause strong dust devils to form. Winds could approach 60 mph in the strongest dust devils, which could damage weaker structures and sandblast anything in their path. If you see a strong dust devil approaching, go to shelter in a building or vehicle. Do not drive into dust devils. The rapid change in winds could cause you to lose control of your vehicle, and could damage the exterior of your vehicle, or cause tempered glass windows to shatter. Occasionally, dust devils move into an area of updrafts of rapidly building clouds. The result can be an intensification of the dust devil circulation, which develops into a short-lived tornado. $$
