They are minimum temperatures surely. It's not uncommon for night frosts in early spring. Daytime should be OK.

Computer says midday (12z = 12 zulu = midday, local)

Mind you, it IS only a model, so it could be well out. That said, it looks cold.

You can go quite a long way forward with the outputs. Like here:

Mind you, the further out, the less reliable the forecasts become and they get re-run every 12 hours. Now it's looking like it will be colder on Thursday/Friday than Wednesday as the low moves across and the wind swings from NW to NE.
