The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
Increasing southwest winds were observed on March 21, 2023. The strongest winds focused through the south-central high terrain, namely the Sacramento Mountains. A peak wind gust of 58 mph was observed by the Smokey Bear RAWS right on the edge of Ruidoso. The nearby Sierra Blanca airport also reported a peak wind gust of 56 mph.
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 Mar 21, 4:45 AM MST, 4 hours 15 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 545 AM MDT Tue Mar 21 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 116 AM MDT Tue Mar 21 2023 Rain and heavy, wet high elevation snow will continue over northwest and north-central NM today. Rain and snow coverage is more limited to the far northern and southwest mountains tonight before a Pacific cold front brings more rain and snow to western and northern areas Wednesday and high winds to the eastern plains and the south- central mountains. Isolated showers linger north and west Wednesday night into Thursday. Rain and snow showers are forecast for the northwest half of the state Friday and for the northern quarter Friday through Sunday. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 116 AM MDT Tue Mar 21 2023 Flow aloft will back and strengthen through Wednesday, as a potent upper level low offshore of central CA moves inland then fills and opens up as it moves into the Great Basin and Desert SW. Today will be warmer than yesterday, but still well below normal across central/western NM where clouds and showers will persist. The latest HRRR, HREF and NAM all peg northwest NM with qpf today, including the northern mountains where a Winter Storm Warning is in effect. Otherwise, breezy to locally windy conditions are forecast by afternoon as a lee side trough deepens. Will issue a Wind Advisory for today for the south central mountains and southwest Chaves County. In terms of precipitation overnight, orographic forcing will be on the uptrend with winds aloft strengthening out of the southwest, which will favor the southwest mountains and the Tusas Mountains for continued precipitation. As the upper low opens up and moves further inland Wednesday as an open trough, the strongest winds aloft will pivot over the region and a lee side trough will deepen to near 995mb. Wednesday still looks to be the windiest day of the week and a High Wind Watch is in effect for much of south central and eastern NM. A Wind Advisory will likely be required for several zones surrounding the watch area. Patches of blowing dust are likely across eastern NM by Wednesday afternoon. Otherwise, precipitation will persist Wednesday with continued orographic forcing, favoring the western mountains. Snow will continue to pile up in the mountains and, especially over the peaks and along higher southwest/west facing slopes. A Winter Storm Warning will continue for the northern mountains and the Chuska Mountains through Wednesday. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Monday) Issued at 116 AM MDT Tue Mar 21 2023 Orographic snow continues in the northern and western mountains behind a Pacific cold front. Colder air also makes its way east through state along with brisk winds. Trough axis takes its sweet time propagating eastward through NM Thursday. Orographic snow develops Thursday and once again favors the western and northern mountains as very strong to high winds develop east. By Friday, the trough axis finally moves through with showers once again most prevalent west of the central mountain chain, but especially northern mountains and northwest highlands. The moist westerly flow aloft continues into the weekend with more showers for the northern quarter of the state Saturday night through Monday. GFS and ECWMF agree that a stretch of dry weather is in the offing for Tuesday and Wednesday. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 445 AM MDT Tue Mar 21 2023 MVFR conditions with short-lived IFR conditions will prevail across western NM this morning in showers, with areas of mountain obscurations. Short-lived MVFR conditions are possible across central NM in showers this morning, while eastern NM remains VFR. Improvement is forecast at area terminals later this afternoon, but mountain obscurations will likely persist and then expand overnight into Wednesday morning. Gusty southwest winds are forecast at KLVS, KTCC and KROW later today where gusts to between 30-40kts will be common. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 116 AM MDT Tue Mar 21 2023 Winds are on the uptrend through Wednesday as an upper level trough/low moves inland from offshore of central CA. Wednesday will be the windiest day of the week and although humidity is forecast to remain above 20 percent, winds will easily exceed critical threshold across eastern NM where fine fuels may be receptive to the rapid spread of fire. Will issue a Fire Weather Watch for the eastern plains for Wednesday. Otherwise, good chances for wetting precipitation will persist across the mountains of western and northern NM through Wednesday. A trailing shortwave trough will move across late Thursday night into Friday, bringing another round of windy conditions with more chances for wetting precipitation once again favoring the mountains of northern/western NM. An unsettled weather pattern involving windy conditions and more chances for wetting precipitation will persist through the weekend and into early next week. Critical fire weather potential for the weekend and into early next week will likely be confined to areas south of I-40 and east of I-25. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
