Default Wind turning on mountain slope?

I have a question for you veteran elk hunters. This year we were hunting a herd of elk on a West facing slope. The wind would normally turn up-mountain at about 9:30-10:00 every morning. We spotted a herd on an East facing slope and went after them one morning and were within about 100 yards (bow hunting), when suddenly the wind changed on us at about 7:30.
My question is, can I expect the wind to change earlier onan east facing slope due to the rising sun warming the slopeearlier than on a West facing slope.I'm working onmy strategies for next yearand this is something I need to get ironed out. Thanks!
