What on earth makes you think it's closed?
It's likely to have traffic control most of the summer due to road work.
It'll certainly be slow during the day.
And even if it were close, 108 (Sonora Pass) is a not too bad alternative depending on your starting and destination points.

I've seen some forecasts for Tioga Pass to get ~1/2" of snow Sunday. Any estimations on the likelihood that it gets closed?
|
|

|

are you saying 1 to 2 inches or one half inch?
Either way that shouldn't be enough to close a roadway this time of year since the road surfaces are still getting a good angle from the sun (unless that amount was the forecast for snow sticking to roadways, which i doubt).

Half inch. I'm nervous because the temp forecast has dropped 30° in the last week, so who knows how much more it's going to plummet in the next two days. I'm supposed to be passing through Sunday afternoon, and I don't know how sensitive the NPS (or is it CalTrans or CHP who decides?) is about early season white stuff.
