Car overheated but not to boil over; acted as if valve opened and steam burst released through hood vents. Temperature gauge was just under midline and then started climbing when steam burst occurred twice within 30 seconds. Immediately threw heater on max with face and floor vents open. This was in bumper to bumper traffic doing less then 20mphs with stop and go. Had been driving car on freeway for ~1.25 hours prior. Kept 2 car length distance to ensure air flow through idling and up to 10mph, heater on max. Thankfully made it through 7mi stretch of construction zone with no pull out area. Ran it another 15mi at 65mph with heat on max; no other issues. Jiffy lube could not duplicate problem. Has not re-occurred to date with commuter traffic (~45minutes on freeway each way).
