Alabama weather service hydrologist heads for higher ground By Stacy White Roger McNeil recently retired from the National Weather Service in Birmingham. (Dennis Washington / Alabama NewsCenter) For almost 30 years, Roger McNeil was integral to the operations of Alabama Power’s Hydro department – and he didn’t even work for the company. McNeil was a service hydrologist for the National Weather Service. Weather is critical to Alabama Power’s operations, from storms that could cause power outages, to heavy rainfall that could lead to runoff and flooding. McNeil was “instrumental” in assisting Alabama Power, particularly during flood control operations. McNeil, who retired last week from his post in the Calera NWS office, said weather and his hydrology role go hand-in-hand.
