Answer:

The warmer and less dense air near the ground rises during the day pulling more air through the valley floor. This gentle upslope wind known as a valley breeze. The flow of air reverses as the sun is going down and at night. This is because the mountain slopes at higher elevations cool quicker than the valleys.
