Maybe the sun was beating down on that 37 PSI tire and not the others?
Remember also to measure pressure when the tires are cold. They will gain several PSI during driving especially on the highway. Additionally sometimes using a tire pump that gets quite hot may cause some pressure drop in a tire if it was the last one you filled (when the pump got hot filling the others before it) as the air cools back off. I notice this when airing up after off-roading. The pump gets hot and I need to add a bit more air to the 3rd and 4th tire to compensate for the added temp of the air going in through the hot pump. Once the air cools back off those 3rd and 4th tires tend to be a little lower than the first two if I fill to the same PSI.

100% agree - i prefer to check/inflate the tires after sitting for a day or 2. I just checked mine this morning due to temps dropping below 40 overnight.
