overheating question
 

My 97 coupe runs at normal operating temperature as long as I am driving. As soon as I come to a stop, whether I shut the car off or leave it running, the temperature gauge slowly elevates to the H. If I start the car and start driving again it will slowly go back to normal operating temperature. Someone please give me a clue as to what is going on here.

thanks.
