I don't know but I did do some more reading of The Striped Bass by Nick Karas on the trip and that suggests the water temp and salitity all play a factor. If they are anything like a freshwater bass, stable weather is the key and the worse thing to happen is a sudden downturn in weather after the spawn has begun.

I would guess it might delay things and if it did so by too much, maybe a percentage of spawners would elect to skip it and the eggs would be reabsorbed. But I'm no biologist, so who knows.

This weather doesn't make me a happy camper thou, I need a good blast of 60 degree weather to cheer me up and get things moving.
