(KAIR)--Expectations of a winter storm, complete with rain, sleet, snow, and blizzard-like conditions, leads the City of Atchison to prepare for the worse.

A release from Atchison City Manager Mark Westhoff, late Friday afternoon, announced that Atchison City Hall, along with other City of Atchison facilities, "due to the forecast and timing of the winter storm this weekend," will have a late start on Monday. Westhoff says that means a 12 noon opening for the City offices, though "essential and emergency staff will continue working through the storm."

Bill Spencer, Chief Meteorologist for the MSC Radio Network, is forecasting local snowfall between 6 to 12 inches; however, due to expected gusty winds of 30 to 45 mph, the snow will be immeasurable as it blows and drifts, causing near blizzard conditions Saturday night into Sunday.

A Winter Storm Warning, issued by the National Weather Service, is in place from 6:00 Saturday evening through 3:00 Monday morning.
