Looks like it's moving 20-25 MPH and it is about 50 miles west of Louisville @ 3:00 AM. Interstate 65 that's referred in the text above runs through Louisville.

From the NWS office in Louisville as of 6am Saturday:

LINE SHOULD WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST OF INTERSTATE 65 CORRIDOR
BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. HOW FAR EAST THE PROGRESSION MAKES IT WILL
PROVIDE TWO POSSIBLE SCENARIOS FOR LOUISVILLE METRO (/glossary.php?word=METRO) WEATHER THIS
AFTERNOON. HI (/glossary.php?word=HI) RESOLUTION NMM MODEL HAS HANDLED CONVECTION (/glossary.php?word=CONVECTION) THE BEST
TO THIS POINT AND HAVE RELIED ON ITS SOLUTION. THIS WOULD MOVE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE AREA BY 2 PM OR A LITTLE
AFTER...OFFERING A RELATIVE BREAK IN PRECIPITATION FROM 2 PM THROUGH
ABOUT 10 PM THIS EVENING. THIS IS GOOD NEWS...HOWEVER IF SKIES ARE
ABLE TO CLEAR OUT A BIT THIS WILL PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE (/glossary.php?word=ATMOSPHERE) AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE AN
ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE WEATHER. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR
SATELLITE TRENDS THIS AFTERNOON. OVERALL RAINFALL (/glossary.php?word=RAINFALL) THROUGH THIS
EVENING SHOULD NOT AMOUNT TO MORE THAN AN INCH TO INCH AND A
HALF...ALTHOUGH LOCALIZED SPOTS COULD SEE AMOUNTS OVER 2 INCHES.
