At magnitude -1.6 I would expect you'd still be able to see it. I just checked back on heavens-above and the time was revised to 18:17 with point of maximum altitude at 18:20 and 6 degrees higher than the original prediction so the orbit must have changed slightly. Maybe you were just 5 minutes too early.

Tomorrow's is at 18:05 and Sundays best one at 17:52
