Bucks County could see some snow Sunday.
The National Weather Service in Mt. Holly, New Jersey, is calling for a wintry mix to move into the Newtown area mid-Sunday and spread throughout the rest of the region and end Monday. By Monday morning, the precipitation is predicted to be all rain.
The storm is expected to include freezing rain, sleet, snow and rain. Forecasters warn that icing could be a problem overnight due to below-freezing temperatures.
