A machine learning maneuver model can be programmed to generate maneuver data identifying a plurality of flight paths for maneuvering an aerial vehicle through an adverse weather condition and a flight path confidence score for each flight path of the plurality of flight paths based on at least weather sensor data characterizing the adverse weather condition. The flight path confidence score can be indicative of a probability of successfully maneuvering the aerial vehicle through the adverse weather condition according to a respective flight path. A maneuver decision engine can be programmed to evaluate each flight path confidence score for each flight path relative to a flight path confidence threshold to identify a given flight path of the plurality of flight paths through the adverse weather condition that poses a least amount of structural risk to the aerial vehicle.
