So,

We are looking to go to both Aruba and Atlantis this year. One will be in July, one will be in early November.

I was thinking Atlantis for early November as it is probably crazy crowded in the summer, but I am concerned it won't be warm enough.

What do you all think?

I spent early November at Atlantis a few years ago. The weather was fine... mid - upper 80s. Aruba weather is wonderful anytime of year.

We've been to Atlantis 4 times, all in November.(Mid to late November) Probably the worst day was overcast and windy, but overall the weather was fine in November. I overheard a woman from Texas complaining it was warmer at home. Not for me, Wisconsin is not usually 80 in November! Crowds are definitely manageable in November. In fact a few times pools or rides have been shut down for maintenance and some restaurants are not open due to the smaller crowds.

Aruba's weather is virtually the same year 'round. Plus, no worries about hurricanes as South America protects Aruba from them. Peak tourism time for Aruba is late January, February (Carnival time), and March. So, I'd say, pick the ideal time to visit the Bahamas considering weather, crowds, availability, and costs (airfare, resort fees). Then visit Aruba when you can.

I’ve been to Atlantis for Thanksgiving and 4th of July. Personally I’d pick Atlantis for July and Aruba for November. For same reasons mentioned above.

Depends on your tolerance for sweltering temps. One year I visited Bahamas in July, it felt like I was in Hell's lobby.
