One way is to change the TZ variable in the script. example you are in MST (+7), pick a timezone two hours earlier like EST
Code:
export TZ=MST7MDT
date
export TZ=EST5EDT
date
the 7 and the 5 are important you can make up 3 letter names for the timezone, or just reuse the current timezone. You can fudge time by as much as +12 -12 hours.
Otherwise see the datecalc script in Perderabo's thread 'Date Arithmetic' in the forums FAQ.

PMWHICHZONE(3) Library Functions Manual PMWHICHZONE(3)NAME
pmWhichZone - return current reporting timezone
C SYNOPSIS
#include <pcp/pmapi.h>
int pmWhichZone(char **tz);
cc ... -lpcp
DESCRIPTION
The current reporting timezone effects the timezone used by pmCtime(3) and pmLocaltime(3).
pmWhichZone returns the handle of the current timezone, as previously established by a call to pmNewZone(3) or pmNewContextZone(3). If the
call is successful (i.e. there exists a current reporting timezone) then a non-negative integer is returned and tz is set to point to a
static buffer containing the timezone string itself.
SEE ALSO PMAPI(3), pmCtime(3), pmLocaltime(3), pmNewContextZone(3), pmNewZone(3) and pmUseZone(3).
DIAGNOSTICS
A return value less than zero indicates there is no current reporting timezone.
