Yours is leaking badly hot, I'd not drive it until you can replace it. If you MUST, you will have to drive with the tank cap loose (unless it drips more then....) and keep a close eye on the temp guage. No slow heavy traffic driving, either!

Do not overheat the engine....

Thanks for the advice. I won't let it overheat for sure. The temperature guage was perfect the whole time when I topped off the coolant and drove home.
