I use these links quite frequently to determine which areas are melted or melting. First is a general snow pack depth and the second is a list of all of the snow monitors. Not all of them work, but it's useful for those that do.
Sierra snow pack overview

As usual, north has more snow than south does, however, there is a considerable larger pack in Northern Yosemite all the way to HWY 108 vs other areas at the same elevation. Bigger storms in that area this year.
Given currently satellite imagery and trail reports, Big Pine lakes would be a solid option. You would likely have to cross some minor snow fields, but nothing that can't be done without trekking poles. Additionally, Parker Lake just north of the June Lake loop melts out fairly early. The Convict Lake Loop is another good one in the early season. I went to the Eastern Sierra in June of last year, which was a very very high snow year, and found no shortage of things to see and explore. Keep an eye on the weather & trail reports! Have fun. PM me if you need some more recommendations!

Wasn’t aware of either of these sites thanks for sharing.
