I would do it earlier the same day, or maybe the day before if I were you.
The newer & fresher the soil cores, the more the power rake will be able to pick them up & grind them, & the better soil contact your seed will have as a result.
If you do it 2 weeks before, rain & sun will probably substantially wear down a lot of the soil from the cores into the ground.
That's the key to dormant seeding at the end of the day:
Maximizing seed/soil contact at the surface.
