mysterious dinging and quick yellow dash light flashes

I backed out of my garage (cold engine) and there were several ding-ding-ding sounds, I looked at the dash and saw no lights indicating an issue, so I kept backing out and the dings went off again. This time I caught a very fast yellow flash down near the "cruise control on" light. It would not stay on. I kept driving, and as I pulled away from a stop sign the dings went off again and the in-the-blink-of-an-eye yellow flash again. I kept driving for a half hour and it did not happen again.

The brake fluid level was fine. I then checked the coolant level in the expansion tank and it appeared low. I took off the radiator cap and no coolant was visible. Anyways, I added coolant to top up the radiator and added some to the expansion tank. I haven't driven it yet (we are currently under hurricane conditions).

If coolant was low perhaps it was bubbling by the sensor causing intermittent lights. Regardless, having to add coolant is concerning, keep an eye on that!
