Yes it is, but the force is much weaker than the thermodynamic cycle caused by the temperature difference of day and night.
The moons gravity has a stronger effect on wind by the movement of the oceans displacing air than directly on the air since it’s density is so much lower. The pure gravitational effect is mostly noticable in the very high athmosphere, so far away from us.
