My understanding is that there is at least an 80% chance that there will not be a problem.
That if there is a problem accuracy will drop, resulting in significant military tactical issues, but for civilians (unless you consider the threat of wayward ICBMs etc) a few flights may be cancelled or re-routed and GPS receivers could lose accuracy, particularly in cities and the mountains.
As I said above, I believe this could take accuracy down to 1.5km temporarily. I f it's a problem- park up for about 3 hours, then everything should be back to normal for a further 9 hours or so.
