Default Painting question

I have an outside wall primed and ready, tomorrow is supposed to be 70,
but tomorrow night it is supposed to drop into the low 30s maybe even
the 20s. I am thinking of shooting it with latex through an airless
sprayer in the morning. Would I be shooting myself in the foot?


Doesn't the can say you're supposed to have the surface above 55
degrees? Will the wall surface be 55 even if the air has made it to 70?
I'd expect the wall to still be cold from the overnight. I wouldn't risk
it since redoing it would be a royal pain. That "Wintery Mix" listed on
the NWS forecast for Thursday doesn't look paint friendly.
