as long as itis consistent and it is providing oil pressure to your head and block you should be okay.

Some times especailly our texas heat the oil like to thin up alot causing this

If it used to be one pressure most of the time (average) and now it isn't this is a good indication your bearings might be going.

My pressure was very low in my last motor once I got a oil guage, it was barely 10psi at idle, barely 50psi @3000rpms. These are the Helms limits, if its near them, that may mean a bearing is going.

My #4 rod bearing was fucked bad when we pulled the motor apart. I'm glad I did before the whole thing siezed on me.
