The short answer is, the average is whatever the weather is for that day.

The long answer is: Last year it was hot (85-90F) and sunny, and crowded. This year was cooler (70s) and more like what it is supposed to be. I've seen snow on Grandfather in April when it was in the mid 60s just a few hundred feet down in elevation, and rain can blow up the side of the mountain at any time. If you go to Grandfather, it's wise to pack for warm, cool, dry and wet weather, and various combinations thereof. It can get quite cool (40-50s) at night, too.
It was really nice on Sunday to feel the cool air, but not so nice back at my house a couple of thousand feet down where it was 20 degrees warmer.
If you want more detailed weather stats, Google Linville or Boone, NC weather.
I hope this helps.
