Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 15, 2:45 PM CDT, 4 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 15, 2:45 PM CDT, 4 hours 29 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PADUCAH KY 245 PM CDT FRI APR 15 2011 .DISCUSSION... MANY CHALLENGES WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE. FIRST ARE THE NEAR TERM PRECIP CHANCES. ISOLATED CONVECTION HAS BEGUN IN FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE PAH FORECAST AREA...WITH ALL BUT FAR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA IN A TORNADO WATCH. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. BETWEEN ONGOING CONVECTION THIS EVENING...AND WRAP AROUND MOISTURE PRODUCING SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY...KEPT LIKELY POPS EAST FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO CHANCE POPS WEST FOR FOR SHOWERS THIS EVENING. AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH THE FRONT TO OUR EAST ANY PRECIP SHOULD JUST BE LINGERING SHOWERS. WENT WITH CHANCE POPS NORTHEAST TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SOUTHWEST LATE TONIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING...WITH POPS TAPERING OFF FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION CHANCES SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES. CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN COOL INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT AS THE HIGH MOVES SOUTHEAST OF OUR AREA...A RETURN OF SOUTHERLY WINDS AND SUNSHINE WILL PROVIDE A NICE WARM UP ON SUNDAY. A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH OF OUR REGION ON SUNDAY...AND IT WILL LINGER NORTH OF THE PAH FA FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE WORK WEEK. THE FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT...BUT WHERE THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP IS THE QUESTION. THE LAST COUPLE OF RUNS OF BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE PLACE...AND FOR NOW KEPT SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY DRY...WITH SLIGHT TO LOW CHANCE POPS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THE 12Z RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF DO HAVE VERY GOOD AGREEMENT FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...SHOWING LOW PRESSURE MOVING INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION DRAGGING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE FA. INCLUDED HIGH CHANCE POPS FOR TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. AFTER THE FRONT PASSES...THE MODELS AGAIN DIVERGE...SO AT THIS TIME CHOSE TO KEEP CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD UNTIL A CLEARER PICTURE EMERGES. IN THE NEAR TERM...LEANED MORE TOWARD THE SLIGHTLY WARMER MAV GUIDANCE FOR TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...AND TOWARD THE COOLER MAV TEMPS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT. IN THE EXTENDED...OVERALL STAYED WITHIN A FEW DEGREES OF THE LATEST MEX GUIDANCE. && .AVIATION... STRATO-CU AND MVFR CIGS COVERED MUCH OF SOUTHEAST MISSOURI WITH HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS DEPARTING EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI. KEPT CB/S FOR CONVECTIVE MENTION GIVEN UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO COVERAGE. WINDS WILL STAY SOUTH/SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS OVER 20 KTS CONTINUING. WINDS WILL VEER THIS EVENING WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE TO SOUTHWEST. OVERNIGHT...PROBABILITY FOR MVFR CIGS WILL INCREASE ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. && .PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... KY...NONE. MO...NONE. IL...NONE. IN...NONE. &&

CONVECTION SHOULD BE ONGOING IN THE MORNING...MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE EVANSVILLE TRI STATE AND PENNYRILE REGIONS. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY IN THE WAKE OF THE MORNING CONVECTION... FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. STORMS WITH ROUND TWO COULD TAKE ON SUPERCELL CHARACTERISTICS...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...WESTERN KENTUCKY AND THE SOUTHERN TIP OF ILLINOIS. HAZARDS WILL INCLUDE LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY TORNADOES. THE ALERT LEVEL WILL LARGELY DEPEND ON HOW UNSTABLE THE ATMOSPHERE CAN BECOME THROUGH THE DAY...AND IF UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM WINDS CAN LINE UP WITH THE AXIS OF DESTABILIZATION. STORM MOTION SHOULD BE NORTHEAST FROM 40 TO 50 MPH. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN TODAY. RAINFALL EARLIER THIS WEEK HAS GROUND CONDITIONS SATURATED IN SOME AREAS. THIS SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO BRING TO THE REGION 1 TO 1 1/2 INCHES OF RAINFALL...WHICH COULD CAUSE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD CONCERNS ONCE AGAIN. FLOODING IS AGAIN OCCURRING ON MANY AREA RIVERS. PLEASE REFER TO THE FLOOD WARNINGS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NEXT WEEK...IT APPEARS THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL SET UP IN A MANNER FAVORABLE FOR PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN. GIVEN THE VARIABILITY IN THE MODEL DATA...IT IS TOO SOON TO TELL WITH MUCH CONFIDENCE WHERE EXACTLY THE AXIS WILL SET UP. HOWEVER THE EFFECTS SHOULD BE FELT ACROSS PORTIONS OF BOTH THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY REGIONS. FLOODING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ON MANY AREA RIVERS. PLEASE REFER TO THE FLOOD WARNINGS FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED TODAY...ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON. JP
