I would at least check the psi's to make sure everything is "fine" then recheck it daily to see if there is a dramatic difference....

Could have just hit the threshold psi for the alert. If the temperature has dropped, that may be the cause. I run 38psi all around on my 18s, but as Gene said, it depends. At 19 you have a little less side rubber, so you may want to do 39-40psi in case you hit a pothole.
