Our guages are aren;'t that great to begin with. But 13 is fine. Could just be that the weather is affecting the reading. You can always get a free alternator test at most auto parts stores. Have them do a battery check while your there.

Turn off your A/C and you should see the voltage go up when you remove that additional load on the system.
