you live in Houston . . . hot HOT & HOTTER, my speculation is that the rain cools off the ambient temperature and when that occurs you tires cool and ergo, the pressure drops. If you look at your tires cold I think you will find them below 30 psi. You can get the warning about low pressure at 27 psi. 
nothing to get nervous about now that you know how to use your DIC and the fact that it is working the way it should. Everyone has the same set up . . . we all do not have the same cooling effect that you may get living in a hot climate. Just make sure your ambient cold temp is 30 psi and you will have no further problems. Just my 2cents worth

:Yeah! I've observed the same when I've been parked for awhile. The pressure usually builds up while I am driving, but the next morning it's back to 29. I usually keep it at 30 psi
Any recommendations. BTW I have runflats
