Overheating Problem S90-V90

Hello all,

I'm looking for some advice on a intermittent problem.
A few weeks ago, I saw that my temp gauge was leaning more toward the hot side. It was somewhat close to the red line. I checked the coolant resevoir and it seemed low, so I topped it off with a Prestone 50/50 mixture.

Everything was normal until yesterday.

I took a round trip (approximately)200 highway miles and then about 4 hours of NYC stop and go city traffic. While stopped in traffic, I noticed that my coolant gauge was leaning toward the red line again. Got worried, turned on the heater full blast and it went back to normal. Later on (about 20 mins later), same thing.

Seeing that it was about 40 degrees yesterday, I'm concerned about this.
Any thoughts? Is it time for a new radiator?
