Probably a plugged drain tube that is causing water to collect in the duct work of your AC vents. Not sure where they are located on the 9-3 but a decent indy or a dealer should be able to clear if you cannot locate.
If the drain is working normally then you've simply got mildew in the vent ducts, On the outside of the vehicle up near the base of the windshield is typically where cars draw in outside air. Turn the fan on high and on the outside of the vehicle spray your favorite variant of Lysol into the fresh air intake vent. This does two things, helps reduce the funky odor and can help eliminate the mildew. Just be sure to use care when spraying to avoid soaking the plastic for risk of discoloring and also make sure you are spraying in the right spot.
This is an annual event with my wife's Accord (her car does the same thing Ken notes in his post) and works quite well.
