YESTERDAY=$(TZ=$(date +%Z)+24; date '+%b %e')

The TZ method may or may not work depending on your local TZ setting but this method will always work:

YESTERDAY=$(caljd.sh -S "/" $(caljd.sh -p 1))

Invoke caljd.sh -u for full usage and examples.

You should have no trouble finding a copy of caljd.sh on the Forums but look for Versnion 2.1; it's the latest.
