For lattice models on Z(d), weak mixing is the property that the influence of the boundary condition on a finite decays exponentially with distance from that region. For a wide class of models on Z(2), including all finite range models, we show that weak mixing is a consequence of Gibbs uniqueness, exponential decay of an appropriate form of connectivity, and a natural coupling property. In particular, on Z(2), the Fortuin-Kasteleyn random cluster model is weak mixing whenever uniqueness holds and the connectivity decays exponentially, and the q-state Potts model above the critical temperature is weak mixing whenever correlations decay exponentially, a hypothesis satisfied if q is sufficiently large. Ratio weak mixing is the property that uniformly over events A and B occurring On subsets Lambda and Gamma, respectively, of the lattice, \P(A boolean AND B)/P(A)P(B) - 1\ decreases exponentially in the distance between Lambda and Gamma. We show that under mild hypotheses, for example finite range, weak mixing implies ratio weak mixing.
