Alternator problems can be hard to catch. It Murphy's Law; it'll never fail when being tested...only 10 minutes later when you're pulling into your driveway.

The fact that the light goes away and comes back further suggests that jltibbs is right. That's how my car has behaved every single time I've had an alternator die.

Welcome to NICO, by the way!
