A strong section of the jetstream crossed NM producing strong southwest winds across much of southern, central, and eastern NM on March 22, 2023. High wind gusts regularly reached 60 to 70 mph with a few peak wind gusts reaching near 70 mph or more at the Sandia Crest and Magdalena Ridge.

The episode as NWS ABQ wrote it up.
A strong section of the jetstream crossed NM producing strong southwest winds across much of southern, central, and eastern NM on March 22, 2023. High wind gusts regularly reached 60 to 70 mph with a few peak wind gusts reaching near 70 mph or more at the Sandia Crest and Magdalena Ridge. There were surprisingly no reports of wind damage collected, and no reports of reduced visibility from blowing dust.
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 22, 4:42 AM MST, 4 hours 18 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Albuquerque NM 542 AM MDT Wed Mar 22 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 141 AM MDT Wed Mar 22 2023 More rain and snow move into the northwest half of the state today along a cold front with strong to very strong winds forecast for eastern New Mexico. Cooler air moves in behind the front tonight and Thursday with highs noticeably cooler. Rounds of showers and mountain snow showers continue to move through mainly northern NM Friday through the weekend. Dry weather returns for early next week with the next storm system expected late next week. && .SHORT TERM... (Today through Thursday) Issued at 141 AM MDT Wed Mar 22 2023 Southwest flow aloft is on the uptrend ahead of a potent upper low currently moving inland across central CA. 700mb winds are forecast to increase to between 45-55kts across the area today and a lee side trough is forecast to deepen to near 998mb, which isn't as low as what has been modeled the past couple of days. In addition to the lee side low a few mb higher than previous forecast, cloud cover may limit mixing today making for a slightly less windy forecast. That said, will resist downgrading or dropping any of the wind highlights with the potential to hit criteria on a rouge gust. Patches of blowing dust are still likely across eastern NM today, especially near the TX border. Downslope winds will help boost high temperatures across the eastern plains to 5-10 degrees above normal today. Although PWATs are already on the downtrend, strong orographic forcing will continue to crank-out the snow across the western and northern mountains, especially across the higher peaks of the Tusas and Sangre Cristo Mountains where additional amounts around 1 foot are possible through this evening. The upper low is forecast to fill as in moves inland, with a secondary trough forecast to move into the area Thursday, bringing more winds and chances for showers. However, Thursday's winds will be much lower than today's and generally breezy to locally windy. Thursday will also be colder as a Pacific front moves through in pieces, with high temperatures forecast to be well below normal across central and western NM. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Tuesday) Issued at 141 AM MDT Wed Mar 22 2023 Upper-level trough axis remains over eastern AZ/western NM Thursday night along with isolated showers west-central areas. This trough axis pushes through NM Friday with orographic precipitation favoring the higher terrain of western and northern NM. Next short-wave trough on approach from the west Saturday. GFS and to a lesser extent the ECMWF bring rain and snow back into the western and especially northern NM forecast for Saturday night. GFS spits out quite a bit more precipitation across the northern third or so with a jet core over central NM while the ECWMF solution paints localized orographically generated precipitation for the west- central and southwest mountains Saturday night and over northern NM Sunday thanks to a jet stream 150 miles farther south. Early next week still looks like a break between troughs/closed lows as the East Asian Jet (EAJ) responds to tropical convection in the WPAC/CPAC, resetting the jet/storm track over western North America that lasts at least several days. Latest ECMWF Ensemble Extended (ENS) suggestive a pattern more typical of climatology. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 426 AM MDT Wed Mar 22 2023 Very windy conditions are forecast today, especially across eastern NM where gusts to between 40-50kts will be common. Blowing dust may limit visibility at KROW and KTCC later this afternoon, but forecast confidence is low on anything sub-VFR. An Airport Weather Warning will likely be required at KABQ for gusts to 35kts. Otherwise, showers across western NM may impact KGUP and KFMN this morning through early afternoon with short-lived MVFR conditions. IFR conditions are possible as well, but forecast confidence too low to include in KFMN or KGUP TAF. Areas of mountain obscurations will persist through much of the day across western NM. Winds will diminish overnight. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 141 AM MDT Wed Mar 22 2023 Will upgrade the watch to a warning for the eastern plains due to strong winds and dry fuels, although humidity will likely not hit criteria. Otherwise, today will be windy to very windy with good chances for wetting precipitation across western and northern NM as an upper low moves toward the Great Basin from central CA. A Pacific trough will bring more chances for wetting precipitation and cooler temperatures on Thursday, with breezy to locally windy conditions. Winds will strengthen some on Friday with stronger west- northwest flow, bringing a couple hours of critical fire weather conditions to the easter plains. Windy and unsettled conditions will persist through the weekend, with chances for showers across northern NM. Winds will strengthen out of the west and southwest going into the middle of next week as a potent upper low moves down the west coast. This setup may bring critical fire weather conditions to the lower elevations Tue/Wed, but a backdoor cold front may limit critical potential across the eastern plains on Tuesday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
