The Power Steering pump probably needs replaced. When it's cold the fluid is thicker so it is easier for the pump to have pressure in it when it gets hot the fluid gets thinner so the pump is having to work harder than in the cold

Why is your steering so stiff on your escort in cold days and light when warm?
Normally in most cars, when it is cold outside, your power steering fluid is thick, thus, needs more presure to push it through the pump and lines. Same with any oil, in your engine. Once this fluid has warmed up, and you've made a few turns it should work properly. If this continues to happen, check your power steering fluid level, or have it looked at by a trusted mechanic.
