Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Paducah, KY wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Oct 18, 3:15 PM CDT, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 18, 3:15 PM CDT, 2 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 315 PM CDT THU OCT 18 2007 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS PERIOD CONTINUES TO BE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. RADAR IMAGERY FINALLY SHOWING SOME DEVELOPMENT JUST WEST OF CARTER COUNTY MISSOURI...ALONG WITH SOME SCATTERED ECHOES NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN WEST KENTUCKY AND A STRAY APPARENTLY ELEVATED SHOWER OVER THE PENNYRILE. TAMDAR SOUNDINGS FROM KPAH AROUND NOON INDICATED A SIZABLE CAP...WHICH IS LIKELY CAPPING THE SHOWER DEVELOPMENT OVER WEST KENTUCKY. FEEL THAT SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL SLOWLY DEVELOP OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...AS THE UPDRAFTS STRUGGLE AGAINST THE IMMENSE DEEP LAYER SHEAR. AS THEY MOVE FURTHER EAST THEY WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND SUPERCELLULAR...AS THEY ENCOUNTER BETTER LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY. STRAIGHT-LINE HODOGRAPHS INDICATE SOME POTENTIAL FOR SPLITTING STORMS...ESPECIALLY IN THE ORGANIZING STAGE. SO LONG AS THE STORMS CAN STAY ISOLATED...DAMAGING WINDS...TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL WILL ALL BE POSSIBLE. IF THE STORMS FORM INTO LINE SEGMENTS AS THEY PROGRESS INTO BETTER MOISTURE OVER WEST KENTUCKY AND SOUTHWEST INDIANA THIS EVENING...INTENSE BOW ECHOES WOULD BE THE DOMINANT SEVERE WEATHER MODE. THE BEST LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND INSTABILITY LOCATED OVER WEST KENTUCKY AND SOUTHWEST INDIANA...WILL RESULT IN THIS AREA HAVING THE GREATEST THREAT FOR A HIGH END SEVERE EVENT IN THE FORM OF TORNADOES OR BOW ECHOES. AS FOR THE GRIDS...GIVEN ONLY SCATTERED STORMS INITIALLY...WILL KEEP POPS IN THE LIKELY CATEGORY...CENTERED OVER THE PURCHASE AREA AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS BEFORE 00Z...WITH CHANCE POPS FURTHER WEST NEAR THE INITIAL DEVELOPMENT. WILL THEN FOCUS LIKELIES EASTERN HALF AFTER 00Z WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OVER WESTERN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI COUNTIES. WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS EAST OVERNIGHT...JUST IN CASE A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS LINGER OVER THE PENNYRILE. AS FOR THE WIND ADVISORY...WILL KEEP IT GOING THROUGH 6 PM...EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NOT QUITE REACHED CRITERIA. THE 30+KT GUSTS SHOULD SETTLE DOWN SOME WITH SUNSET...BUT WILL LIKELY STILL SEE SOME DECENT SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WELL INTO THE EVENING...WITH OR WITHOUT CONVECTION. FOR FRIDAY AND BEYOND...BASICALLY JUST FOLLOWED THE 12Z GFS AND ITS MAV TEMPERATURE GUIDANCE. AFTER A COOLISH DAY FRIDAY...THE WEEKEND WILL BE MOSTLY SUNNY WITH CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE 12Z GFS SUPPORTS THE POPS OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT...SO LEFT THAT ALONE. .LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. MODELS ARE IN SLIGHTLY BETTER AGREEMENT REGARDING THE SYSTEM TO AFFECT THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE ECMWF IS STILL FAR FROM THE 00Z GFS AND GFS ENSEMBLES. FORECAST WILL BE WEIGHTED MORE HEAVILY TOWARD THE GFS/GFS ENSEMBLES...IN LINE WITH HPC GUIDANCE. THE GFS PUTS MUCH MORE EMPHASIS ON THE NORTHERN BRANCH OF THE 500 MB JET...DIGGING A FULL LATITUDE TROUGH THROUGH THE CENTRAL STATES. THIS TROUGH THEN SHEARS OUT GRADUALLY DURING MID WEEK. AS A RESULT...HIGHEST PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE MONDAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRESSIVE COLD FRONT PASSING THROUGH THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY. LOWER PRECIP CHANCES WILL LINGER INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE WEAKENING 500 MB TROUGH PERSISTS NEAR OR JUST EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. CONFIDENCE DECREASES AFTER MONDAY SINCE MODEL VARIABILITY BECOMES MUCH GREATER. TEMPS WILL BE CLOSE TO SEASONAL NORMS IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE ON MONDAY. && .AVIATION... TIMING OF CONVECTION IS THE MAIN AVIATION CONCERN. HIGHEST PROBABILITIES ARE IN EVV/OWB TAF AREAS...WHERE MOISTURE IS RELATIVELY DEEP. THE DEEPER MOISTURE IS EVIDENT IN VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY...WITH MORE IMPRESSIVE CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT SOUTH AND EAST OF PAH. INSTABILITY WILL WANE QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET...WHEN DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO INVADE FROM THE WEST. CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL SHOULD BE MAINLY EAST OF THE TAF SITES BY 03Z...FOLLOWED BY A PERIOD OF MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND DIMINISHING WINDS. WRAPAROUND LOW CLOUDINESS OVER IOWA AND NW MISSOURI MAY OVERSPREAD THE REGION WELL AFTER 06Z. CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE MVFR RANGE AT WORST. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE.

STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS DURING THE MID AFTERNOON HOURS. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE RAPIDLY TO THE NORTHEAST AND SPREAD SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN KENTUCKY. THE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST AND SHOULD EXIT THE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT. THE STORMS WHICH DEVELOP WILL QUICKLY BECOME SUPERCELLS WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN RISK. TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM TODAY. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WHICH WILL SPAWN THE THUNDERSTORMS...IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AND PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS EVEN OUTSIDE THE THUNDERSTORMS. THE RECENT DROUGHT HAS WEAKENED MANY TREES IN THE REGION...LEAVING THEM MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO DAMAGE. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY A SMALL CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS FORECAST THROUGHOUT THE QUAD STATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...SEVERE WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SKYWARN SPOTTERS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR ACTIVATION TODAY AND TONIGHT. PS
