Mine did today, and it went off after a few minutes. I know my TPMS is off compared to the real pressure of my tires.

YEP, and as soon as the tires wormed up, it went off, not to mention, since I got my car when it was in the 90's during the day, now it's in the 30's to 40's at night......so I added a bit of air to compensate.

Yea. Cold = less dense air, = less tire pressure.
Unless of course you have nitrogen, then you are mostly unaffected by small temperature changes.
