Exterior wood stain application vs temperature

Hey guys today I had a crew power wash our wood decks in anticipation of staining . We are going to use TWP oil based stain . The instructions on the can states it can be applied when temps are 50-60 and higher . But does that mean day and night ? Right now here in northern Georgia we are seeing daytime temps of 50-62 or so but night time temps still high 20's to lower 30's .

This coming Monday - Thursday are supposed to be sunny and fall within the temps stated above . The guy thinks if he starts Monday he will finish on Tuesday . It might rain on Friday . Do you think the stain will dry properly ? I plan on calling TWP on Monday morning to see what they say . But the braintrust here is massive so thought I would ask . It's just under 1300 sf of decking plus rails and posts . He uses a garden sprayer and then back rolls and brushes for cut in spots .
