How do the comet "experts" explain via the sublimating dirtysnowball model such an intense outburst from a comet moving AWAY from the Sun?

Because it takes time for the heat from the outer surface to soak into the inner layers? Because a heavier outer layer has ablated away and exposed a more volatile patch? Because the changes in temperature weakened an icy covering, causing it to give way from the pressure of a gas pocket?
