From what I have been seeing posted and talking with friends going over, I'm guessing that by middle of July you won't have a problem. You may want to go directly up some of the rock rather than follow the usual trail (that might be covered). That is normally just a rock scramble. If you had packs it might be a bit of a nuisance and just slow down your progress. But your normal day pack for Langley shouldn't hinder you much.
I'm guessing that if you are careful, even in the worst case then you can simply follow the footprints of those before you. You will probably get wet, however.
Old Army should be clear enough by then also. If you know where the trail is (there is one) or have been there before, it helps. The snow will be at the top and again, there probably will be a bit left over, but it will have been well trampled by the time you get there.
New Army would be your choice if at all concerned or won't be able to scope out the old pass the first day out from trail head. Usually about 1.5 routine hours up Old Army from the lake. If you are strong 1/2 that.
