I've been to Yellowstone in mid June 3 different years I couldn't tell any difference between weekend and weekday.
Do expect it to be cold. Each visit we encountered light snow on one of the days which we thought was a treat and not a problem but mainly because we were prepared for cold weather.
The park is less crowded early to mid June compared with July and August. That said you will benefit from staying in the park and getting on the road early in the morning each day. Bonus, you'll see more animals by getting out early.
