Charging question

This morning while driving to work I noticed that my trucks voltmeter was a little higher than normal. It is usually right around 14 but today it was a little below the danger mark. ya know 18! I stopped at the store and when I came out it was back down to 14. I am not much of an electrical wiz, so where do I start? Alternator? Some sort of regulator that I don't know about or what.
