Weather conditions triggered red flag warnings in the northeast part of the United States as firefighters in California continued to battle a large wildfire that has burned over 20,000 acres.

New wildfires burned Tuesday across the Northeast, adding to a series of blazes that have come amid very dry weather and killed at least one person, while much larger fires raged in California and other western states. Heavy smoke led to poor air quality and health advisories for parts of New Jersey and New York, including New York City.

Fire Weather Warnings were issued for the NYC area on Tuesday, as gusty winds and dry fuel could lead to rapid fire spreading throughout the rest of the week. FOX 5 NY's Richard Giacovis has the latest.
