The term 'COMING UP' can be used to describe a variety of situations. It can refer to something that is emerging, SOON, arising, NEXT, AHEAD, on tap, on deck, in store, EXPECTED, IMMEDIATELY, or on one's plate. Each of these words has a slightly different meaning, but they all imply that something is about to happen or is in the process of happening. For example, something that is emerging is just beginning to appear, while something that is EXPECTED is anticipated to occur in the near future. Similarly, something that is on one's plate is ready to be dealt with, and something that is on deck is ready to be used.
