Then 70 at 9 00. 74 at 11 00. And 78 by 1 00. Clouds. Friday, better chance for showers and storms. 82. Saturday, yes, this is a change. Afternoon storms possible. High temperature, 85.

And unpredictable. And it can hit a small animal, a child. Its not the first time people have spotted it in the they should. Saw a coyote in her backyard a couple of weeks ago. Looked up and looked at them and kept walking on. The next morning, she found the neighbors cat dead in her yard. A neighbor of ours found a cat that looked very much like it had been attacked and killed by probably a coyote, rather than a fox because i dont think fox would be able to manage that. Fox sightings are common. Neighbors say there is a foxs den just behind their home, where large power lines run into the city. They are generally elusive. They dont seem to like feeding them. I think a coyote kibe a little more of would be more of a concern than a fox. They said unless the animal is sick or injured, they dont come out. When a child gets hurt, thats when theyll start taking notice. And we want to stop it before a child or animal or even an adult is injured. While people say they are not as concerned about the foxes in this area, they are concerned about some of their neighbors who continue to put food out for the foxes. Saying this is just encouraging them to stick around. Reporting from ellen burke. We also called fairfax animal control. And we are waiting to hear back from them.
