Weather Report is the tenth studio album by the American jazz fusion band Weather Report, released in January 1982; there was some confusion among consumers and retailers upon its release as the band's first album (1971) was also self-titled. It is the final album featuring bass guitarist Jaco Pastorius and drummer Peter Erskine in the rhythm section.
