A sign that the Alternator going bad?

[red2001ss]

Usually happens most at night, however every once in a while the Volt light will flash. On the SM2, I can see it drop about a volt then go back up. The voltage usually holds around 13.1-13.5V. It mostly flashes when I'm getting in the pedal a bit and the RPM's are going up, and sometimes on a good bump in the road which is common around these parts. Just wondering if the ALT is on its way out, or could it be something else. I haven't check for a loose wire yet, but I don't think that is the case. No Fuel Pump Hotwire kit yet, but it's on the way, if that makes any difference with the Volt light problem.
