In that case you have to take into account things like tailwind component(that is how much wind is "pushing" the aircraft).The 2000 foot wind is also a consideration.It can be significant for example when the surface wind is calm. Noise and local constraints apart the runway in the wind conditions described would be 27(although it is such a gentle breeze it might not really matter) The choice of runway has many factors to be taken into account and whilst the wind is certainly important it is not the only consideration.
Chevron...that only works with Navy pilots!!
