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).

1 wings: "A wing" is the moveable appendage which most birds use for flying. We also use the term to refer to the "wings" of airplanes and other aircraft, or even to refer to extensions or areas within a building (the West wing of the White House for example). The ostrich has a pair of wings which are mostly for show in mating rituals and to frighten predators. They are vestigial limbs and don't grant the birds the gift of flight. What a shame! To learn more about the ostrich, visit your local aviary or zoo or consult an ornithologist.
2 beak: A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak. In this conversation, Philip believes he sees a bird in one of Donna's inkblot cards, but then says that it is actually a woman with a sharp nose (which reminded him of a bird's beak).
3 feathers: "Feathers" make up the plumage of a bird. They are epidermal growths which emerge from the bird's body. Feathers are the distinguishing feature of birds and set them apart from all other classes of animal. Although not all birds can fly, the hollow structure of feathers permits some birds to stay in the air while flapping their wings.
