Last update about 5 hours ago had ISON at a magnitude +5 with a dust tail, so it sounds like there is basically zero chance of it being naked eye visible. +5 would already be hard to see in the pre-dawn sky unless you're away from a city and with no development to the southeast. And no way it's even +5 in a few days once it has moved farther away from the Sun. It was a +3 only 9 hours ago, so it's fading fast. Even though it'll never be the -13 magnitude comet it was projected to be last year, it completely defied all predictions and thus should have some very interesting consequences in understanding our solar system. Everyone studying it has said it's the craziest comet ever observed.
