Check the air gap between the A/C compressor clutch, and A/C compressor pulley. If the gap is at the maximum limit a low voltage may not be creating enough of a magnetic field for the electromagnetic coil to pull the clutch in.
X2.
I have a 2000 Jeep Cherokee which had similar symptoms. No obviously bad anything. Turns out the rubber bumper stuff in the AC clutch mechanism had become hard and brittle with age. Worked fine when cool but when everything heated up the clutch would not pull in enough to engage the compressor. I simply removed some of the rubber and it has been working fine ever since.
