Definitely not. It’s common in places where the weather actually changes due to things other than the time of day, i.e. where cold systems move in. For example, look at the forecasts in the Chicago area where tomorrow (March 23) it’s going to be a fair bit colder at noon than at 1am. This is not at all uncommon, and is in fact precisely why it’s important to check the weather forecast in the morning on normal days when you’re deciding what to wear.
But the broader point is that the utility of an overnight temperature is that it happens while most people are sleeping, and thus unable to respond to it.
Fluctuations while one is awake can be coped with.
IMHO, the most reasonable intuitive measures would be: overnight low, rain during the midnight-to-midnight day
It's a good question, and something I was kinda wondering too. I see now it's technically written as:
> Day 58°↑ • Night 48°↓
Maybe the arrows are used to indicate the high and low?
Then you live in Antarctica, it's winter, and you're out of scope.

Okay, so Antarctica, Chicago, and Cleveland.
