If you have the lat/lon coordinates for your country (you can usually get this from a shapefile), then you can use the gc_inout function to trace each lat/lon point of your country, and determine whether a point on your precipitation grid is inside or outside the country.

Please see examples 4 and 5 on the shapefiles page:

Here's the documentation for gc_inout: http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/gc_inout.shtml
