Normal. Happens when water moves brake dust in between the pad and rotor where it settles and creates the squeak. Whenever this happens to me I just take it to 45mph+ and slam on the breaks. Clears it right up.

I tried doing this multiple times but that didn't even help at all. It still squeaks loud on every traffic light I stop.

Did you beed in the brakes? If not... you need to do that. Do 3 60-5 mph panic stops in a row.. don't stop between them, after the 3rd one, drive the car normally for about 5-10 minutes at normal driving speed... you won't have an issue after that. You might have to do this several days in a row. From my understanding the constant "squeal" is from incorrectly breaking in the brakes.. so you have to wear them down a little. Do it several days in a row and see what happens. I did this on my M5 (because it was used as a demo for 65 miles, sales guys slamming on the brakes...), I did the beed in for 3 days in a row and never had a problem again...
