Hi PT (what does that stand for???)

I did not implement this case on purpose, because this can be quite
confusing if the time for tomorrow is near the time now.
Changing the time by a few minutes can make the resulting
date skip to tomorrow.  But I guess it is OK as an option:

    (setq org-read-date-prefer-future 'time)

should now create the behavior you were asking for.
