Trouble with my Date Alert Fomula

Good Afternoon.

 

I'm trying to create a formula that will alert me in an excel sheet when a date is 30 days or sooner.

 

In my sheet, I have I have several date ranges such as :

 

2/5/19

3/5/19

4/5/19

 

Ideally I want it to put a notation by any date that is 30 days away from today.

 

I was using this formula here =IF(D4=(TODAY()+$G$3),"<<<","") which works for precise date range, but is there a way to make it less than or = to the date? (D4 being the date range, $G$3 being the number of days out from when I need to be alerted. So if I need a 30 day timer or a 3 day timer I can put it in there and it will show me with <<<.)

      This unfortunately does prior date range + or -. So example 

       

      2/3/19

      2/4/19

      /2/5/19

       

      Where $G$3 = 4 it would mark all 3 days with that range.

        I only need it to mark upcoming dates, if that makes sense.
