The initial influences do not have to be global:

to have significant results.
"Weather is what scientists call a complex chaotic system whose central property is that a tiny change in one part of the system can become magnified over time into a major change elsewhere. This means that a small localized weather change not accounted for in computer forecasting models can cause the actual weather pattern to gradually diverge from the models until what occurs in the sky over our heads is very different from what the weather person predicted a few days before."
