Boxster Started Overheating at 40° - Help!

Hi,
I have a slight problem with my Boxster today. I was driving home, and I looked down at the instrument cluster, and noticed that my car was overheating. It was 40° outside, which sort of baffled me. It normally hangs around 180, maybe a little over (about one needle width), but it was half way between 180 and the second mark (picture). Right as I pulled into the driveway I started to smell a slight burning.

I called my Porsche dealer and made an appointment for Wednesday, but wanted to get your guys opinion before I spend a few hundred dollars. I got the car at Carmax, with there warranty. Do you think it will be covered?
The only two things that I can think of that may have caused it were, accelerating to 6k RPM which I normally don't do too often, as I got on the freeway, and I washed my car (Maybe some of the foam got in the radiators?).

All opinions are appreciated!
Thanks!
