My reading of that line would be:

like STORM clouds in a TROU bled SKY

I couldn't make myself put any stress on "in" at all, unless the preceding line suggests that clouds may occur OUTSIDE "a troubled sky," in which case I'd want the stress for contrast! I'd have a pyrrhic in that second position.
