Yes, this is still normal. It can take a few days after the IRS accepts your return for it to transmit to the state. It can then take up to an additional 48 hours for the state to accept or reject the return.
It appears that your return was selected for processing by the IRS prior to the official tax season opening day. It is common for a select number of returns to go through in test batches, and those batches may take some additional time to filter through to the state system.
Everything is working as it should at this point!
