I can only see web cams, but it looks like the water level is making the sandbar shrink.

How long does this normally last? Will this change launch rules if it stays that way past May 1st?

the size of the sandbar does not change due to water levels. the amount exposed above waterline does change.
this topic is covered ad nausea in other posts (http://nwkite.com/forums/t-28759.html&highlight=)
ok to launch from grass as long as sandbar is under water.
Normal - there is no normal.... usually it's underwater until June.
Past few years snowpack has been high - sandbar underwater until July.
