How do crosswinds affect runway selection at St. Louis Lambert 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 St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL/KSTL) the live call is landing 12L+30R, departure 12R with METAR wind CALM. 12L shows 0.0 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 KSTL threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
