Narrative:

After takeoff ECAM warning indicated that we had a wing bleed duct leak. After discussion with maintenance we were advised that we may still have a bleed leak and it was agreed that we should return to our departure airport. Due to the possibility of a continued bleed duct leak and the possibility of icing conditions and thunderstorms in the area we determined that is was safer to do an overweight landing than to delay the landing. We returned and landed without incident.
