Just to update you on the weather forecast for the Upper East TN area, which includes the Gatlinburg/PF area: According to our local station, it's according to where Hurricane Irma comes in, but we could see a lot of rain from her next Monday and Tuesday, plus some windy conditions. With just 2-4" in a day or two is nominal for a hurricane, it can cause some flash flooding in this mountainous area. Just keep an eye out on the weather.
Just to update further - this afternoon, Thursday, the weather is pretty much set on the fact that the remains or Hurricane Irma will head straight up from the GA, SC coastal area to the Upper East Tn/SW Virginia, Western NC area. That's right where you are planning to go. They said to expect 1-4 inches or rain, but wind gusting into the 60mph range. Not really good camping weather, but better than HURRICANE weather.
