FYI - I am in DC with hot and humid temps. I parked in airport lot for a weekend trip (visiting Cali !!!!) When I return it is raining and overcast. Drive off lot and get a warning. Check pressure with gauge and all good. Re-set button and have been good since.

IMO It's your amazing West coast weather that may be the culprit. You had a heat wave last week or so and that might be the cause.
only vehicles with direct tire pressor monitoring suffer from temperature issues, no USA made E53 comes with this system.
