If it continues on this light curve/remains at this magnitude for this week and into next, I will stick my neck out and say a possible yes, but barely, and only from dark sky sites/view that has a great, very flat eastern horizon.
You would probably have to locate it first in scope/binocs first tho, to be sure of what your looking at.
most likely it will just be a dot the size of a star or slightly bigger, to the unaided eye, hardly spectacular.
But anything can happen with comets (just look at the day to day changes in (morphology) in Kevin's pics) , as is well documented, but most often than not, it is the nothing side of anything tho
FWIW here's hoping that it becomes better than it is expected too
