Air carrier captain reported a rejected takeoff after the aircraft began to yaw and was unable to correct it. After inspection it was discovered two main tires had blown and a suspected dust devil may have been in the immediate area.

Narrative

Accelerating for takeoff at approximately 130 knots; V1 was 150 kts ; with the first officer as pilot flying the aircraft abruptly yawed left approximately 15 to 20deg and the first officer I believe corrected with rudder input. I thought we had had an engine failure and aborted the takeoff. We decelerated the aircraft as smoothly as possible and exited the runway. During the rollout we were able to discern that the engine had not failed; but were unclear on what may have happened. The first officer then mentioned that he thought he saw a piece of paper blowing across the runway indicating that perhaps there was a dust devil in the area of the runway. We brought the aircraft to a stop on the taxiway. Approximately five minutes after this; a company ops car came by to assess the situation and communicated to the tower who communicated to us that the two left main tires had blown. We then set about coordinating with company to have passengers transported back to terminal as the aircraft could not be taxied. At this point in time; my only guess is that a significant wind event took place at that part of the runway; causing the aircraft to move as it did. It was as close to a simulator engine failure as I could ever imagine. The ATIS at that time was just showing a normal day for ZZZ. I don't know how I could stop the wind from blowing the way it did; but I recommend continued training in rejected take offs in the simulator.
