Cold tire pressure?

Since we were leaving Albuquerque headed for the middle of Oklahoma I checked the tire pressure yesterday afternoon when the ambient temperature was 70 degrees (OK temps were to be in the 80's today). All the pressures were near 110#. This morning when we left it was 48 degrees and the pressures were around 102#. Once we got moving the tires went up to their usual pressure of around 125# and stayed there. Now that we are parked for the night the temps are in the 70's and the pressures are near 110# again. How do you judge cold tire pressure when you are in the desert temperature extremes or going up and down the mountains or both?
