5 things to know today: Pardon our dust

1. A different kind of airport hassle. Hartsfield-Jackson says it is kicking off construction work this week for a $6 billion renovation and expansion, part of a 20-year plan. Get ready for a 'pardon-our-dust' period.

2. Try to wrap your head around this. The GOP gathers next month in Cleveland to nominate Donald Trump for president, but John Kasich, Republican governor of Ohio, has so far refused to endorse the presumptive ballot-topper.

5. What's the forecast for today? In a phrase: Thunderstorms, lightning, possible hail. All in time for the afternoon commute.
