1. The day is foul due to the witches raising a storm, and fair because of Macbeth's victories on the battlefield.
2. Unbeknownst to Macbeth, his very first words in the play eerily echo the words of the witches, "Fair is foul, and foul is fair" (1.1.11), and thus the audience sees immediately the calamitous inseparability of Macbeth and the forces of darkness.

They are witches that is why they say that. It means that when they do something "foul" it is "fair" also no good sense between foul and fair.
