Is the description in your forecast usually accurate? Looks like most days are overcast.
TWC isn't really good forecasting or at least depicting cloud cover. Though this has been a cloudy spring.

What was the cloudiest year in Chicago in recent history?
Let me look into it... Here is some data
Ok so I found the sunniest years on record

We posed your question to Chicago’s sunshine guru Frank Wachowski who told us that while 2012 has been exceptionally sunny, it will fall short of being the city’s sunniest year. The current sunshine champ is 1895 which logged an impressive 66 percent of its possible sunshine followed by runner-up 1988 with 65 percent.
Some below some above the next 15 days. Average high on May 12th at MDW is 69.0F/20.6C and on the 26th it's 23.0C. At my stations the average high today is 21.4C and on the 26th it's 24.1C
Some models suggest heat wave by the last week of May. That would have to happen in order for this month to go above normal here..
Hopefully Weatheronline is just understating sunshine like it usually does, it said we were only supposed to get a couple of hours and it was sunny all day.
Normal May conditions this week, then next week something more summery.
45f on Sunday. If it's going to be below 60f I'm hoping the weather just tanks so at least we have the cold records to show for our suffering
