According to Visit My Smokies:

As of right now, we’re expecting the leaves to turn to gorgeous fall colors in higher elevations around mid-October, and continue into lower elevations until about mid-November. Fall foliage is most vibrant when temperatures are in the 70s during the day and drop into the 40s at night.
