How would a 384 hour day/night cycle on a desert planet affect the weather?

The planet has a slow rotation around its axis, taking 384 hours for a full day and night cycle at the equator. There is one large continent which takes up around one third of the planets surface. The other two thirds are ocean with some scattered islands. The continent is fairly flat with no major mountain ranges. The entire planet is hot with the average temperature at the equator sitting around 50 degrees Celsius. There is no moon orbiting the planet and the planet is similar in size and composition to earth.

I am wondering what effect this long day/night cycle would have on the planets weather. There would be storms of course but I'm wondering wind force and size. I am also wondering whether the storms would be mostly present at specific times of day or if they would be more constant. Any other effects the day night cycle might have on the weather would also be appreciated.
