We're planning Sequoia NP to visit the week of May 15, but see some rain and snow in the forecast and some recent wet weather, plus warnings about river dangers.

Are normal day hike trails open and not too muddy?

Ask the Park Service, google "trail conditions sequoia national park":

Those don't seem to include trail conditions beyond that most trails are open and free of snow (plus, as I noted, river dangers).

No river dangers in Sequoia itself as it is on a plateau high above the valley; Kings Canyon may be another matter. We were there on May 27 two years ago, and the impression was that amenities had just opened. But the trails were clear and open.
