Check the forecast for Atlanta and subtract 20 degrees.

It sounds like you're going to be moving too fast to get cold. With your experience in GSMNP, I think you're pulling our legs.

Have a great hike.

no vyx,,,,there are more thrills if you are spontaneous....getting lost with improper gear or insufficient supplies is a life altering experience (or so I have heard)

TD, it's GEORGIA, don't be a baby! You are never going to make it out in good ol' Montana if you are worried about a 20 degree low. It is colder than that when I go to work and all I wear extra is a Patagonia and I only weigh a little over 100 lbs. Buck up honey!
