I've finally got my tomato plants planted outside, but now the sun has disappeared and the weather has turned unusually cool. There's no sun in the forecast for the next week, and it's been two weeks since my tomatoes last saw sunny weather. Should I be worried about their survival?

They should be okay! It might just take a bit longer for them to start producing fruit, but they can handle some cooler temperatures.
It really depends on how cold it is. If it’s only a few degrees cooler that’s not a big deal, but if temperatures drop to around 45°F or lower, then that could be concerning.
The lack of direct sun could help prevent sunburn on the plants. Just make sure to keep an eye on moisture levels to manage any fungus issues!
It's in the low 60s right now, so that should hopefully be manageable!
