Depends on a number of things (temperatures the plant has seen, weather from here on out, variety, etc). Keep an eye on it. Hopefully it will get 6+ inches in diameter. You want to harvest it just at the point when it goes from being very tight and firm to just starting to loosen up--that will be your maximum size. After that it's getting ready to flower.
Broccoli that matures in cool weather is the best, IMO. My guess is you have another two weeks +/- before it's ready.
