Default Car drifting on highway

I was on I-95 going about 85mph and the car was being pushed side to side what felt like wind. There was no wind, was kind of aggravating to have to be so concience on just going straght. Car just had an alignment drives great other wise. any ideas?

I have a feeling there was a cross wind which you didn't notice IMHO.
If not, then any of the following could be the culprit causing the car to drift in the lane. Also, at that rate of speed the slightest thing wrong/bad will be quite noticeable.

Possibly uneven tire pressure.
Possibly uneven tire tread.
Bad control arm bushings, tire rods, ball joints etc
Bad struts.
