1 forecast: A "forecast" is a prediction. The term is often used in the context of weather reports and meteorology, however the term can also be used in other contexts, notably financial ones. Example: The sales forecast for the next two quarters is promising. As a verb, "to forecast" is to predict.
2 highs: As a noun, "highs" are the upper, maximum range, or the "peak" of something (such as temperatures). Example: We had highs in the 90's all summer long. The terms "highs" and "lows" are commonly used to express the maximum and minimum temperatures (throughout the day, week, etc.).
3 sunshine: "Sunshine" refers to the light emitted by that wonderful star, the sun. If the weatherman has predicted "sunshine" it makes sense that Horatio would bring sunglasses and a towel to the beach.
4 wind: "Wind" is moving air. "Flying a kite" and "sailing" are two activities which require wind (to propel the kite and boat).
