How fast does the body convert extra calories to fat?

Lets say a person eats an extra 3500 calories on a particular day. Will these calories show up as an extra pound of fat in 1 hour, or 6 hours, or 1 day, or 1 week?

My weight will fluctuate 5 lbs per day just due to the weight of food and water that I consume. I don't think that I am metabolizing fat at these kinds of rates.
