We're in the final push for our AT section, and are trying to figure out the weather forecasts. Nearest I can find are Gatlinburg, Bryson City and Cheoah Ranger Station (Robbinsville), with the ten-day forecasts showing Sunday night lows at 42°, 39° and 41° respectively.
All 3 of these towns sit at about 1700', but we will be starting at the top, with campsites at 5460', 4900' and 3680' beginning Sunday.
How much colder should we expect on the ridge at 5400' on the overnight?
Any other weather advice is welcome from those of you more familiar with the area than I.
