How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Tampa 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 Tampa International Airport (TPA/KTPA) the live call is landing and departure 01L+01R with METAR wind 10° @ 7 kt. 01L shows 6.9 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 1.0 kt crosswind from the right. 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 KTPA threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
