Sirius has a visual magnitude of -1.46. The predicted magnitude of the flare near the flare center is -8.1. The magnitude scale is a log scale, which means that the flare will be approximately 450 times brighter than Sirius!
Unfortunately, the sky isn't looking promising at the moment at my location.
