We have to wait to see what you find when you remove the Tensioner.
Before you remove the Tensioner check the Pulley to see if any play, resistance, interference.

The Serpentine Belt is just a bit narrower than the riding surface on the pulley (check that surface for wear compared to the original surface).

It could be a fatigue crack between spokes as Phil Suggests.
On the way back from BG Jim had complete failure of the pulley. It locked up and was sawed in half from the belt. Jim, always prepared had a spare pulley and a spare belt in the car and made the repair in a small shopping center in West VA. Repair done in 35 minutes!
