Default Let's talk A/C

Lately my A/C has been going from cool to cold and back again. The longer I drive, the less variation there is. After driving 10 or so miles, it seems to operate the way it should. Background: 2000, 60K miles, A/c never been touched, dual A/C ran in auto mode at 68 degrees. Outside temps are high 80's and into the 90's. I am thinking that it just may need a charge. What do you guys think?

TIA

You are most likely low on refrigerant. Take it somewhere reputable and get the system topped off. It should not cost much if you have not put in stuff from Wal-Mart and screwed it up. Good luck!
