If you were in mud recently (yesterday) it could have dried in one spot an now throws off the balance. In winter, a similiar thing happens with snow and ice.
But also...a weight could have fallen off a wheel. Had that happen recently. No shimmy, but a wheel did look wobbly. Just had new rims mounted and balanced and issue gone.
Good Luck.
