This is just what I've experienced over the years spending that week on the A.T. in Georgia for the past 7 years.
Average day time high is usually around 55* to 65*, night time temps usually around 45* to 55*...
HOWEVER...
it may be bright and sunny 3 days a week, overcast and nice 3 days a week, and raining 1 day a week...normal weather
HOWEVER...
it can go to 0* any night, freeze all your water and your wet shoes, snow, sleet, freezing rain, high wind or just a cold rain any or every day, all day...usually nice but very unpredictable. You need to be prepared for major weather changes.

It can anywhere from teens to 70 degrees.
50 mph Wind to calm.
Snow or rain.

You never can tell. :)
Just be prepared for extremes - it is spring, and have a super great hike.

Sounds like your trail name will serve you well on the hike.
