overheating ?

twice recently coolant has spurted out of my rad through the overflow tube (onto street, I don't have an overflow bottle).

Both times this happened only after I turned my car off. Once after I had been driving without traffic for 20 minutes in 80 degree weather, and once after I'd been idling for 20 minutes in 90 degree heat.

Neither time did the overflow happen while the car was running, but both times did overflow within seconds of turning the car off.

Any idea why that would be ?
