Arrow Bad Belt?

Haven't had a chance to pop the hood and look, but every morning when heading to work the car is squeaking LOUDLY. As the car warms up, and I continue to drive, the noise disappears. I'd say within 10-15 minutes it no longer squeaks. Does this sound like a bad serp. belt? I'll be checking for cracks in the belt at lunch. Any other way to tell if it's a bad belt? Or should I be looking at the pulleys too? Thanks.

FWIW: I sprayed down the bearing side of several pulleys, restarted after each 'til I found the culprit. AC pulley. It's quiet now.
