Answer

You can retrieve a localized day of the week using Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString and passing in the option { weekday: 'long' }.

const formatDayOfWeek = date =>
  date.toLocaleDateString('en-US', { weekday: 'long' });

const incrementDay = date => {
  date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1);
  return date;
};

const currentDayChange = () => {
  const now = new Date();
  [...document.querySelectorAll('.day-of-week')].forEach(day => {
    day.textContent = formatDayOfWeek(now);
    incrementDay(now);
  });
}

currentDayChange();
h1 {
  font-size: smaller;
}
<h1 class="day-of-week current-day"></h1>
<h1 class="day-of-week"></h1>
<h1 class="day-of-week"></h1>
<h1 class="day-of-week"></h1>
<h1 class="day-of-week"></h1>
<h1 class="day-of-week"></h1>
<h1 class="day-of-week"></h1>
