Default firebird dieing and starting back up

Hey. I have a 1999 Firebird 3.8 that I am a little worried about. So when i am driving with the fan all the way up, lights on, and listening to the radio, my car lights and blower will dim and when you look at the alternator gauge it shows it in the yellow or red for about 3 seconds and then come back to full power. It only does this about once or twice a night when i'm driving and have been noticing it for about 2 years but never really put much thought into it because it just dies and comes back to life. haha. I'm wondering if there is a control malfunctioning or if its the alternator? Thanks.

Get the alternator tested at AZ, O'Reilly etc.
