I remove entries from the global TODO lists using the variables org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled, org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines, org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date This leaves SCHEDULED and DEADLINE items only on the daily agenda view. So to see deadlines in the warning period I just go to the agenda for today (C-c a a) and it shows up.
