1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, data corresponding to a future weather event, wherein a portion of the data is collected using a sensor;
identifying an artificial intelligence (“AI”) model, wherein the AI model has been trained using historical weather event data, historical weather impact data associated with the historical weather event data, and contextual information, wherein the contextual information includes data about the sensor;
mapping weather events having weather impacts with a higher likelihood of occurrence proximate to each other in a latent space in the context of the artificial intelligence model;
determining, utilizing the AI model, a weather impact associated with the future weather event; and
outputting the weather impact associated with the future weather event to a user, wherein the output weather impact comprises an estimate of property damage monetary cost, a prediction of types of property damage resulting from the future weather event, and a repair time;
wherein determining the weather impact associated with the future weather event includes interpolating weather impacts of neighboring weather events in the latent space.
