A cold front stalled south of North Texas Thursday morning. North of the front, temperatures were in the 50s, south of the front, readings were near 70 degrees. The front slowly lifted to the north late in the morning, sparking scattered thunderstorms. By 5 p.m., a line of severe storms will develop to the west of Fort Worth.
