Warnings are sent out for service checks, as hosts only have up,
down and unreachable states.  You can disable warnings for services
using the "notification_options" setting:

define service {
 ...
  notification_period           24x7
  notification_options          w,u,c,r
 ...
 }

The "w" is for warnings, "u" for unknown, "c" for critical and "r"
for recovery.  For example:  u,c  will only notify you when the
status is unknown (typically plugin failure), or in a critical
state.  You won't get notification of warnings or when a service
recovers from an unknown or critical state.

It's probably worth working out why a plugin is timing out - it
often indicates the service is unreachable, or at least unusably
slow. :)
