If I got it wrong then its more being safe than sorry but...

I hike at night quite a bit these days.when i come back home and people hear of my little adventures its like planting seeds...tonight some seeds have began to grow and i have four people who are ready to climb baldy tonight..my thing is ... i toldthem to bring warm shit so they can be comfortable on the summit..i wanna stay a while and get my drink on..lol
i told the the temps overnight on top might be about 25-30 degrees...
they all said i was "bullshitting" and that was exaggerating....

what do you think the summit temps would be like?...tonites lows off mountain ave/210 fwy should be about 70 {elev 1000 aprox.}

No, you are not right. Keep that link that 406 posted. It is about as close to the summit you can get good predictions for, year round.
