It can produce isolated C flares, but the solar activity is expected to remain low overall. The solar wind speed has started to increase (now 450km/s) with the entrance of the Earth into a recurrent fast solar wind stream. The stream must still reach its maximum speed. In response, the geomagnetic field will become unsettled to active in the coming hours and a minor geomagnetic storm may occur mainly tomorrow and on the day after tommorrow. The geomagnetic activity will remain elevated for at least 3 to 5 days given the wide longitudinal extend of the coronal hole where the stream finds its source.
