How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Nashville International Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Nashville International Airport (BNA/KBNA) the live call is landing 20C+20R, departure 20R with METAR wind 190° @ 3 kt. 20C shows 3.0 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and calm crosswind (0.0 kt). Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every KBNA threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
