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.

The advisory remained in effect along the coast between Santa Barbara and Humboldt counties, the NWS confirmed at 6:20 a.m.
We are tracking a fast-moving system arriving that will bring strong winds, rain and mountain snow to the region.
After months of warm and dry weather in Southern California, an incoming Pacific storm is expected to bring multiple days worth of rain to the region.
Some areas could see a repeat of Sunday's showers and thunderstorms capable of producing heavy downpours and some flooding.
A flood watch has been issued for much of the Inland Empire, which could see monsoonal thunderstorms as soon as Wednesday night.
Temperatures are taking a turn Thursday, with highs jump as much as 12 degrees into the 70s and 80s, and up another 10 to 15 degrees higher than normal on Friday.
Gusty winds, high surf, and temperatures that could hit triple digits are all on tap for the region this week.
