...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PUEBLO HAS ISSUED A SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT FOR...

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.
