Weather Systems, released in 2003, is Andrew Bird's first solo album after disbanding the Bowl of Fire. Bird has said that the album was simply a side project during his four or five year recording of The Mysterious Production of Eggs. The disk also features an eight minute film by Robert Trandson about Bird and the recording of the album. The cover art was done by Jay Ryan.

The first track, "First Song," borrows its title and most of its lyrics from a poem in Galway Kinnell's book, What a Kingdom It Was, published in 1960.
