Weather Reporting

In 2015, Ambriz began working for the Jackson, Tennessee-based station WBBJ-TV, an affiliate of ABC and CBS owned by Bahakel Communications, which has various syndicated programs, including “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, “Wheel of Fortune”, and “Live with Kelly and Ryan”. She stayed there for two years, and then moved to WSAZ-TV which is affiliated with NBC and CW. Based in Huntington, it’s known for being one of the smaller stations which quickly transitioned to digital television as well as high definition broadcasts.

She began doing weather broadcasts with the station, mainly focused on the West Virginia area; her schedule often saw her working during the evening. She also continues to work with the American Red Cross, and is a community volunteer leader.

Bar Fight

In mid-2018, Chelsea and co-worker news reader Erica Bivens went on a night out together with Erica’s husband. The seemingly innocent outing turned into a media covered event, as the night ended with the two women getting involved in a bar brawl that left one of them hospitalized. According to reports, the two were going along well until later in the evening when Chelsea started making advances towards Erica’s husband. He told her that he was not interested and then went back to his wife, telling her about what happened. The two then began a confrontation which later led to shoving and a fight inside the bar.

Erica suffered serious hearing loss after the fight, and was taken to hospital where she was diagnosed with a ruptured eardrum and a fracture at the base of her skull; Chelsea was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery. Erica also mentioned that the two have had some tensions at work which was one of the reasons for the aggression that night. Chelsea had a court date, and if found guilty might have faced a fine of up to $500 and possibly a year in jail. She pleaded not guilty to the charges, and they were later dismissed after the victim failed to appear in court. Chelsea contended that anyway, she was wrongly charged without proper investigation.

Personal Life and Social Media

For her personal life, it is known that Ambriz is single, as she confirmed through a social media post in 2018. She posted a photo of her with a friend and co-worker, but to stop any rumors coming from the photo, she put in a hashtag which said Not My Boyfriend to make it clear that it was just a picture with a friend. The photo was taken when she attended the West Virginia Carnival Fundraiser program which was held at the Clay Centre for the Arts and Sciences. She has never married nor had any children.

She has mentioned that during her free time she enjoys travelling and playing tennis. She also loves animals and has a pet cat named Bert. She supports various environmental advocacies, but does her best to keep most of her personal life away from the spotlight. However, similar to numerous television personalities, she is highly active online, having accounts on social media websites such as Twitter and Instagram. She mainly posts some of her daily endeavors on both websites, along with pictures of herself with friends.

  1. I think your information about the dust up with co-worker incorrect. I have been told the husband had been hitting on Ms. Ambriz. This explains why charges were dropped and her career has flourished.

      1. I hope that is the truth. I have become a great fan of Ms. Ambriz over the years because of her great ability as a meteorologist but also because she is very attractive. You always hate to see your icons and ideals raked through the mud and gutter, especially if its unjustified.

        Best of luck, Chelsea, and try to stay out of those bars! 🙂

  2. Look at her! She doesn’t need to hit on any man, the least a married one. Bet one year’s salary he was hitting on her and his wife got pissed. Thus the trial no-show.
