PROBLEM! running really hot

My car all of a sudden started to run really hot. idk if its from the cold weather but today it was 13 degress out and my temp gauge went all the way over the red line before it cooled down and its been going up to the 260 mark before droping back to about 240. i thought it might be the thermo but im not sure and dont want to go buying random parts going well i hope this fixes it
