The lowest temperature of the day is usually before sunrise. So at that time it's still dark out and people consider it nighttime. Usually forecasters refer to tomorrow after the sun rises.

"Forecast"
a: to calculate or predict (some future event or condition) usually as a result of study and analysis of available pertinent data; especially : to predict (weather conditions) on the basis of correlated meteorological observations
b: to indicate as likely to occur
If the weather reporter is talking of today's weather he is not "forecasting". The "forecast" portion of the report is for tomorrow's weather, therefore the inclusion of tomorrow's predicted low temperature.

It also helps the farmers know how to prepare for working their fields.
I like to know what's in the forecast up to five days so I can plan for the week.
