Explanation:

The three witches meet again on the heath and check in about what everyone's been up to. Oh, the usual witchy stuff: one was killing swine; another has been making some poor sailor's life miserable.

Her sisters are going to help her by depriving him of sleep and by "drain[ing] him dry as hay," which means the sailor's going to have some serious gastro-intestinal problems and/or that he's going to be unable to father children.

Witch #1 also came back with a pilot's thumb, a convenient rhyme for "Macbeth doth come," heralded by "a drum." Hearing Macbeth's approach, the witches dance around in a circle to "wind up" a "charm."

Macbeth and Banquo show up, and Macbeth mentions how this day has been both fair and foul. Hmm. Where have we heard that line before?

Banquo notices the witches (they're kind of hard to miss) and speaks to them, using some variety of "You're not from here, are you?" The witches put their fingers to their lips, but that does not deter the perceptive Banquo from noticing their beards. (Yes. Beards. Remember, in Shakespeare's day, men played all the roles, so they wouldn't even have needed any stage make-up to pull this off.)

Macbeth tells them to speak, and they hail Macbeth first as Thane of Glamis, then Thane of Cawdor, and finally as future King.
