There is the concept of max_check_attempts and retry_interval that may help you. What these do is allow you to set a period of time and consequently a number of checks where the metric has to be outside of the OK thresholds before a notification is raised.
For instance, if you set max_check_attempts to 10 and retry_interval to 5 - the system would only recognize this as a true issue after 45 minutes worth of retries. The downside of this is if at any time your check returned to an OK threshold the max_check_attempts counter would return to zero.
Without a complicated plugin that does an average using a state file this is the only method I know of to achieve what you want.
