Pull over and check the fluid level. If it slips when cold only, or when you first start driving, you should still check fluid level (when hot on most vehicles). If the level is fine, this is the 1st symptom of a clogging transmission filter (especially GM vehicles). Filters should be changed at least every 100k miles. The reason this happens more often when the vehicle is cold is that the fluid thins out after heating up and can pass through a cloggy filter more easily.
