Newbie question - Brown coloring showing up on tops of tomatoes

Hello all:

It just started to get cooler at night here in Virginia. Could that be affecting this late planted tomato?

How cool does it get? Are the brown areas bruised/inedible, or is it just cosmetic? I wonder if the brown may be from low temperatures. In my garden, the lowest temps seem to occur just before dawn.
