Clothing/rain gear for late start

[cbabs]

I will be starting a long section hike starting May 12 and ending around August 10, giving me a few weeks to recover before methods and student teaching. I plan on starting at Springer in Georgia. My question(s) is: what cold weather gear can I leave home? Is a long sleeved t-shirt enough for the chilly nights? And for rain gear, is a poncho enough?

A poncho should be more than enough for hiking, but I'd bring something more than just a long sleeve tshirt for in camp... it can still get cold at night up at high elevations in May.

We had nights in the 40s in early June in Georgia. It was warm enough in my sleeping bag, but it was pretty chilly in the morning. I had a thin synthetic vest, a light long sleeve zip-tee, and a light wind shirt, and it was barely enough.
