Strong westerly winds in the wake of a departing upper low brought a few rogue gusts up to 58 mph through southwestern Guadalupe County on January 3rd. These winds turned northwesterly with mountain wave activity along the Sangre de Cristo Mountains producing more rogue wind gusts up to 61 mph at Las Vegas and 66 mph southeast of Vaughn on January 4th.

The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
Strong westerly winds in the wake of a departing upper low brought a few rogue gusts up to 58 mph through southwestern Guadalupe County on January 3rd. These winds turned northwesterly with mountain wave activity along the Sangre de Cristo Mountains producing more rogue wind gusts up to 61 mph at Las Vegas and 66 mph southeast of Vaughn on January 4th.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Albuquerque, NM wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jan 3, 10:35 AM MST, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 1035 AM MST Tue Jan 3 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 116 AM MST Tue Jan 3 2023 Yet another weather disturbance will move into New Mexico today, bringing additional light snow to western and some central parts of the state where a couple to a few inches of additional accumulation will be possible, mostly on the high terrain. Meanwhile breezy to windy conditions will persist today, especially over the central mountains and nearby highlands where gusts of 45 to 50 mph will be possible. Drier and slightly warmer conditions are expected on Wednesday, but stubborn winds will continue to remain gusty along and east of the central mountain chain. Winds should decrease more in speed Thursday, but could strengthen again Friday afternoon. Also, another fast-moving upper level weather disturbance will cross northern New Mexico Friday, leading to a brief round of light snow for the northern mountains. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 116 AM MST Tue Jan 3 2023 A weak upper level perturbation is moving over AZ this morning, forecast to cross NM today in the wake of a departing 539dm H5 upper low now over the NE/SD border. Enough moisture accompanies this disturbance to bring snow showers to a good portion of western and central NM through the day. This will peak in intensity along the continental divide and western slopes of the northern mountains as the trough axis crosses west to east over the state this afternoon. Snow levels rise to ~5500' by the afternoon, still low enough for most of these areas to see snow, with rain or non-sticking snow favored within the ABQ metro area this afternoon. Snow accumulations have come down with this forecast package, ranging from a dusting to an inch or two across western and northern NM with higher amounts of two to six inches above 7,500'. Given the limited coverage of advisory criteria snow accumulations and the relatively short- duration of the potentially impactful snow, will not lay down any winter weather advisories with this forecast package. Instead, will issue a standard special weather statement for the potential of isolated winter weather exacerbating already difficult travel conditions from prior winter weather. Snow showers taper off quickly this evening. Aside from the winter weather along and west of the central mountain chain, windy weather will remain along and east of the central mountain chain. Strong 40-50kt H7 winds will remain over much of the area, reaching the surface through the central highlands between the Sandia/Manzanos through Santa Rosa and Las Vegas to Vaughn. Will keep the current wind advisory as is for these areas and extend them through the day. The central highlands and Guadalupe County zones have been extended through mid-afternoon Wednesday as well given strong H7 winds persisting and turning northwesterly tonight into Wednesday. There looks to be a brief 2 to 3 hour window of sub- advisory wind speeds this evening, but not long enough to warrant a discontinuation of wind highlights before the next round. Strong H7 winds will also impact the southern Sangre de Cristo Mountains tonight into Wednesday, and the day shift will take another look at potential need for wind highlights there. The downsloping westerly to northwesterly winds will help raise high temperatures to near normal across the eastern plains as well. Western and northern areas will see CAA behind today's system take highs down 10F-15F below normal today, with little warming for Wednesday. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 116 AM MST Tue Jan 3 2023 Upper level ridge axis will move over NM on Thursday, bringing a considerable decrease in wind speeds aloft. A lee-side surface trough will still be present though, allowing breezy conditions to prevail along the Sangre de Cristos, central highlands and east central plains. Rising pressure heights will allow temperatures to warm by 5 to 10 degrees in most zones Thursday afternoon. The transient ridge will be replaced by increasing southwesterly flow Thursday night with an upstream shortwave trough expected to move toward the Four Corners region by Friday morning. Strengthening orographic flow and faint energy preceding the shortwave will introduce showers over the northern mountains early Friday morning and increasing a bit during the day as the perturbation clips northern NM and treks into CO. Snow amounts would be light, generally amounting to just a couple of inches of fresh accumulation on the northern mountains and locally higher amounts on the highest peaks above 10,000 feet. The strengthening gradient aloft will be complemented by a deeper lee-side surface low, allowing winds to surge up in speed again Friday afternoon. Another weaker and drier shortwave will move in on the heels of its predecessor Friday night into Saturday morning, and other than the drop in temperatures, this feature should be inconsequential to sensible weather. Thereafter, dry westerly flow on Sunday will give way to another ridge that will build over the Rockies Monday into Tuesday. Breezy conditions will remain stubborn over the central mountains/highlands through this time frame with a potentially stronger bout of winds on Monday of next week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 952 AM MST Tue Jan 3 2023 Snow showers will increase in coverage and intensity from the central mountain chain westward this afternoon, bringing mountain obscurations and MVFR conditions. Short-lived IFR conditions are possible in snow showers, but forecast confidence is too low to include in TAFs. Otherwise, gusty westerly winds will impact areas east of the central mountain chain today. Increasing northwest flow aloft overnight will bring the potential for low level wind shear to KLVS and possibly KTCC going into Wednesday morning. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 116 AM MST Tue Jan 3 2023 Short bouts of elevated critical fire weather conditions will focus through the eastern plains today and Wednesday afternoon. Light to moderate winter weather impacts western and northern NM today with strong westerly winds along and east of the central mountain chain. A ridge of high pressure brings more tranquil weather to the area Thursday. Breezy to windy and warmer weather returns to eastern NM Friday with light winter showers reaching far northern NM. Calm weather with near normal temperatures, afternoon breezes, and poor ventilation is favored by the weekend. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
