The second stanza of A Valediction Forbidding mourning states intense displays of emotions in that stanza.
They are metaphoric exaggerations of the crying and anguish over one who is deceased.
Love, it seems, "looks on tempests and is never shaken".
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move
"I have seen tempests, when the scolding windsHave rived the knotty oaks, and I have seenThe ambitious ocean swell and rage and foam,To be exalted with the threatening clouds:But never till to-night, never till now,Did I go through a tempest dropping fire." (Act I Scene 3)
Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. (Sonnet 116)
They are metaphoric exaggerations of the crying and anguish over one who is deceased.
Tear-floods refer to a flood of tears and sorrowful emotions, while sigh-tempests refer to turbulent and heavy sighs expressing grief or sadness. These terms emphasize the intense emotions experienced during a period of mourning or separation.
The poem "A Valediction Forbidding Mourning" by John Donne refers to the comparison of the narrator's separation from his lover to the earthquakes or natural disasters that occur when the Earth's tectonic plates shift. The reference to the "trepidation of the spheres" in the first line of the third stanza alludes to the shaking and repositioning of celestial bodies, representing the intensity of the narrator's emotional and physical separation.
The answer to the definition of tempests is well a tempest means a storm so tempests means storms.

Not Twilight Zone, it was The Outer Limits series. The episode is called "Tempests". I saw this years ago and found it very unsettling.
