OF COURSE THIS HAPPENS THE NIGHT BEFORE A ROAD TRIP!!! GRRRRRR...

Ok, so got an oil change yesterday at a reliable Indy shop (not saying the issues are related just giving all the background info). Yesterday I noticed that while sitting in the pickup line at school with the car parked and engine running that the A/C stopped blowing cold and was lukewarm. When I started driving again though the A/C cooled back down. Today as I was driving I noticed same issue, A/C would blow cold while moving but get lukewarm when stopped. When I went to pick up my daughter today, the A/C got lukewarm again while I was parked with the engine running but then...the COOLANT LIGHT went off and needle was close to HOT. So, Shut the car off. Drove to a nearby street to pop the hood and the level in the reservoir was near max and I could not detect any noticeable leaks but the coolant light was still on with A/C running lukewarm. I shut the car off for a bit and then restarted, turned A/C OFF...then needle went to halfway and I got the car home fine, no more warning light, no noticeable leaks and reservoir still near max.

Does anyone have ANY idea what might be going on here?

Faulty thermostat. Probably stuck only partially open. It is intermittent now but it will get worse.

The AC needs recharge.
