A very stagnant pool of air has been sitting over south central the past few days.  We've had a temperature inversion all weekend, but that will begin to break throughout the day tomorrow. 

We will have some cooler weather in the upper levels of the atmosphere moving in to the region and creating some winds helping to move the fog on out of the area.  Once the winds subside towards the later part of the week it is going to get colder with highs by Friday in the teens to single digits in south central. 

As for the rest of the state there will be no big changes for the rest of the week except for in the southeast.  Windy conditions will develop tomorrow from Juneau northward and will persist for the rest of the week.
