Squeal is generally a contact problem. If the drum is not evenly worn on the axial plan (bell mouthed), if the backing plate is not even, if the hold down springs are weak, if the shoe table is slightly warped, if the wheel bearing endplay is excessive or is loose.

Chatter is generally loose parts, or distorted drums, except that loose wheel bearings can cause both chatter and squeal.

Given the problem goes away after warm up suspect the drum. It may have a point that contracts more than elsewhere when cooling due to previous storage.
