English term or phrase: winter storm system in Canada exploded

On Friday the market stabilized and managed to erase about a third of the week's losses. On Monday, September 19th the bean market and the oil market roared to the upside. Over the weekend a winter storm system in Canada exploded and was drifting toward the Midwest U.S. "This is great," I thought to myself, "just a few weeks after the worst drought since the 1930s wreaked havoc with most of the soybean crop, an early frost threatens to damage what remains. Okay, finally the market is going to turn.

formou-se subitamente no Canadá um sistema frontal frio

Explanation:
1. winter storm system é mais que uma tempestade de inverno (winter storm); geralmente as tempestades de inverno formam-se ao longo das superfícies frontais frias e, à medida que estas se movem, as tempestades avançam também; dado que o texto original indica que há movimento para o midwest americano a partir do Canadá, parece-me mais adequada a tradução por sistema frontal frio.
2. exploded aparece aqui mais no sentido de subitamente ou inesperadamente, uma vez que estamos a falar de reacções dos mercados de capitais a fenómenos meteorológicos.
