Default Thumping noise when braking after storage

First drive after winter storage. Car has developed a loud thumping when braking. Frequency of thump changes with car speed. Worse when braking hard. Normally I would figure brake rotors, but the car was fine when I put it away in the fall. Wondering if a stuck caliper or pad could cause this ? I also wondered about flat spots on the tires, but figured it would do it all the time, not just when braking.

Any ideas/suggestions before I start ripping things apart ???
