Default How to transition orchids to outdoors?

I know I'm getting spring fever, but am wondering if the time is right to move house grown orchids and staghorn ferns to screened porch. Weather lows this week in the low to mid 50's with uppers in the mid 60's to 70's. Humidity is ranging from 30% to 75% or better. Rain predicted but not terribly likely right now. Zone 6a/6b Kansas City area. I do expect the odd cold snap that we normally get, but am keeping an eye out for that. Our average last frost date is mid April. We had some really gusty days last week.

I've always grown the phals on porch, spring through fall, but have some new species now. Don't want to kill them, but would like to take advantage of decent weather if it seems reasonable. Should I put them out during day and bring in at night? Of those listed below, are there any that I should NOT subject to the shock of moving right now.

Here's what I've got:
1 Dendrobium kingianum - pot
1 Cymbidium Sweet Heart "Spring Pearl" - pot
1 Oncidium incurvum - pot
1 Dendrobium aggregatum - basket
1 Amani Island Neofinetia - bare root
1 Neofinetia -kokedama
3 Paphiopedilums - pot
9 assorted phalaenopsis -pots/1 mounted
4 staghorn bifurcatums - slatted mounts
