This is true - though not the only known negative temperature expansion
coefficient.

Due to which effect? Wouldn't that be more closely related to the fact that
water becomes a solid at 0ƒC?

PS - I do agree with the others - the screaming noise has a very high
probability of coming from the belt, and the humidity you mention could indeed
be related. As others say - drive it a bit and see what happens. Secondly,
tighten the belt a bit and see what happens. Finally (as mentioned, and good
advice) just replace it.
After all, what's the worst that could happen? The thing could catch fire and
burn to a crisp so fast you cannot even get out! But far more likely you'd
have plenty of time to get out and watch it burn to a crisp; This would save
you the cost of replacing the alternator belt!
(sorry - couldn't resist. It's probably a belt and nothing serious).
