Hopefully that's all it is, but if it continues to get worse and starts doing it after warmed up, I'd have the tires checked for tread or belt separation.
This can be the first sign of trouble in an older tire and can eventually end somewhat violently.
Probably not the case, but I'm just throwing it out there.

Check the edges of your tires. This happened to me on a different car, but same symptoms. Guy at the tire store found a tire was slightly cupped on a edge. He said when the tire is cold, you drive more on the edges and the issue is more pronounced. When the tire warms up, it runs more on the center.

Guy at tire store is wrong & doesn't know what he is talking about!
