No, you will be fine. I'm going to go with Rotella T 5W40 myself.

what are your goals for running a heavier oil? Are you in an extremely hot environment or have a leak or something?

typically a heavier oil in cold weather will not flow as well. IMO, I would stay with the 5w-30...or even better go with a 0w-30 (this will be helpful during your cold start ups).
