Amber Lee

You can watch Meteorologist Amber Lee on CBS LA.

Amber brings weather updates to viewers each morning on CBS LA Mornings as the day begins, weekdays from 5 - 7 a.m., and at 10 a.m.

Amber joined CBS LA in September 2012.

A Southern California native, Amber returned home after working for KOAT-TV in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a reporter and fill-in meteorologist for three years.

In 2011, she was recognized by the New Mexico Farm and Livestock Bureau as "Reporter of the Year" for her coverage on one of the worst droughts in state history. Her reporting called attention to the hundreds of ranchers who bought insurance through the government and were then denied claims.

Prior to Albuquerque, Amber worked in San Luis Obispo at KSBY-TV and began her career at KCBY-TV in Coos Bay, Oregon.

Amber earned her master's degree in journalism from Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut, and a bachelor's degree in communication studies at California State University in Northridge, California.

She earned her certificate in meteorology through Mississippi State University's Broadcast Meteorology Program.

Amber won a 2019 Golden Mike from the Radio & Television News Association of Southern California for "Best Weather Segment." In 2022 Amber hosted CBS LA's first ever hour-long Asian American History special, "Amplified: The Voices of AAPI Heritage Month," which garnered a Golden Mike award from RTNA Southern California.

In her spare time, Amber enjoys traveling with her husband and son, jogging and exploring the outdoors. She speaks Mandarin and enjoys participating in the annual L.A. Chinatown Firecracker 5/10K run/walk event.
