I would check the SG just to make sure it didn't change too much if there was some evaporation. Otherwise, it should be just fine. I use saltwater mixed over a month old and had no bad effects.
Some salt mixes, like Red Sea Pro Salt, precipitate when held over long periods, but as long as you're not making over, say, a 20% percent change, it really shouldn't matter. You can check the Ca and Alk if you're feeling paranoid.

i make 55 gallons of water for my auto water change system 5 gallons every other day. i rotate it within two separate containers , when the one being used gets near the bottom i will mix salt into the 2nd one then refill the first with my ro/do freshwater tank. That will trigger it to make more ro/di water.
the water storage / mixing system has 3 tanks. 1 for ro/di two for mixing and saltwater. this gives me 150 gallons of ro/di water at all times . JUST In case..

This. In my case, it is a 200 gallon reservoir

water sits in our tank uncovered with water movement and heater = can sit uncovered in a bucket with power-head and heater
like stated above just check Sg if making too large a water change

Got hit with what we think is marine velvet unfortunately. Still going though...looking forward to getting past this.
