You want it to count three days in the future but not the weekends? If so, try out the below

Assigns today -> the day of the week

If wed -> then add 5 days in seconds to now == mon

if thurs -> then add 4 days in seconds to now == mon

else -> add 3 days in seconds to now

{% assign today = 'now' | date: '%A' %}
{% if  today == 'Wednesday' %}
{{ 'now' | date: '%s' | plus:432000 | date: '%Y-%m-%d' }}
{% elsif today == 'Thursday' %}
{{ 'now' | date: '%s' | plus:345600 | date: '%Y-%m-%d' }}

{% else %}
{{ 'now' | date: '%s' | plus:259200 | date: '%Y-%m-%d' }}
{% endif %}

there may be a simpler way to do it but this should work

finds day of week, minuses day of the week from 7. takes that calculates the seconds and then adds that to the current date.

test it out

{% assign today = 'now' | date: '%u' %}{% assign dayWeek = 7 | minus: today %}
{% assign seconds = dayWeek | times: 24 | times: 60 | times: 60 %}
{{ 'now' | date: '%s' | plus: seconds | date: '%Y-%m-%d' }}
