Winds on a tidally locked moon of a gas giant

My idea has been a colonized planet or moon with incredibly strong winds so that life is only possible in deep valleys protected from the wind. I recognize that wind is primarily driven by temperature differentials. So my question is this...on a moon that is tidally locked to its planet, would the temperature differential between when the moon is in the planet's shadow and when the "light side" is exposed to the system's sun conceivably be enough to drive super-strong winds?
