I have a customer's request to fly this weekend in Michigan. The daytime high is expected to be just above 32°. Assuming that I keep the batteries warm prior to flying, what limitations might I encounter?

Wonderful suggestions. I'm really encouraged that I can get this done without significant risk (following the advice you provided). Thanks!
I flew all winter in -20C to +5C. Most flights 15-18 minutes and probably around -10C for a rough average, with no issues other than taking it easy on multiple stick inputs in order not to drop voltage drastically.

I live in northern Ohio.
Flew all winter long as long as the temp was above 20 F.
Be sure to keep your batteries warm. I kept them in a soft cooler with a hothands hand warmer until needed.
I always brought her back around 35% because the cold can affect the battery
