Yes, the NOAA snow website is good. Here I've centered it on King's Canyon. (It isn't perfect, though. You will find snow where it says there's none, e.g., in the shade.)

NASA has a daily low-resolution satellite view which might be helpful, too.

In case that link doesn't work, here's a shorter one https://goo.gl/5s5oGi . Note that this is for May 11, you need to go forward to the latest day.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

There will be considerable snow in Desolation as well. I hiked through the PCT in mid-July of 2011 and most of it had 3'-5'. Mav, I would even ask you to amend your OP to include Deso.
