Hot brake grinding/grating/grabbing?

Hi all,
Here is my situation. I have a '91 900 with automatic transmission, non-turbo, 140k. I live in FL and during the late part of summer (Sept, Oct) my front brakes would grab/grind when braking hard, BUT only if I had been driving in stop and go traffic and the car was running hot. The problem feels like a rock or something is in the front brakes (not sure if only one side or both) and mainly occured when fully braking and I was just about to stop (5 MPH or so). I took it to my mechanic, who said the brakes looked fine, nothing he saw that could cause the problem. The past few months it has been colder and the brake grinding has not occured. Yesterday it got up near 70 and while in some heavy traffic the brakes started grabbing/grinding/grating again. Once out of the traffic and car cools down, the symptoms disappear and the brakes work fine. Any ideas?
I have some experience working on my car (small stuff), but not anything like replacing the brake pads.
Thanks in advance for any advice, ideas, suggestions.
Chris
