The usable temperature ratings for most greases should be somewhat conservative, so a few degrees over or under should not be a big deal. If the condition do really go beyond the greases capabilities, then the most likely thing to happen is that the grease would not be pliable enough to conform to the surfaces. This might cause an under-lubricated condition, but more than likely it would make whatever is being lubricated hard to turn or move. Once it does start to turn or move though, the grease should become usable rather quickly due to mechanical stress and frictional heat generation.
