You could hive them today (Friday), but Saturday
would be even easier.  See the Boston 10-day

Highs in the mid-50s are OK.  Lows in the
40s are not a significant threat to a package.
They will certainly not draw much comb in
this weather, but they won't die if they have
some sort of feed to tide them over.
